Mr. President:
I request you immediately use your Presidential authority to order your defiant Attorney General to reverse his decision repealing the Department of Justice’s Cole Memo and other related guidance specific to marijuana enforcement. His thoughtless decision undermines you and your rightful position on the legalization of marijuana and is an outrageous attack on states’ constitutional right of self-determination.
His decision will only serve to hurt our country and further damage your credibility as someone who regularly proclaims to care about businesses and people.
As the President of the United States, you can stop the Attorney General from undermining your leadership and hurting your popularity. I urge you to maintain your position that the vast majority of Americans share: supporting states' liberties and allowing businesses to continue to grow.
While the ineffective Attorney General Sessions has often stated his opposition to states' rights and often spoke of his desire to pursue an antiquated drug enforcement policy, when it comes to the legalization of marijuana, you have shown you are in touch with Americans by consistently saying that states should be the final decision-maker. On October 29, 2015 you stated:
You compellingly reiterated your position on March 8, 2016 by saying:
The change in policy made by your ineffective Attorney General is a reversal from your original promises. If you do not reverse this action, people will think that your cabinet is acting without your approval. Mr. Sessions has been trying to interfere with states' rights on marijuana for years and this action is in line with his own agenda, not your stated agenda.
His unpopular move would also damage state economies and discourage entrepreneurship - placing some of our innovators behind bars - all while eroding states' rights.
Colorado and 29 other states that have regulated marijuana have proven that allowing responsible adults to legally purchase marijuana gives money to classrooms rather than cartels, including Mexican cartels; creates jobs rather than addicts; and boosts the economy rather than the prison population. Surely you don’t want to help give Mexican drug cartels more cash? Nationally, the legal cannabis industry is projected to create a quarter million jobs by 2020 and recreational sales could climb to $13.3 billion.
In addition to hurting our economy, this change in policy will also hurt our veterans.
To demonstrate your stated commitment to veterans and those who are sick, I urge you to reverse this decision. I recently met
which worked for him with far fewer severe side effects. With the states and federal government seeking ways to combat the growing opioid crisis, there is evidence that medical marijuana could provide part of a solution, and if you stop Sessions, it will help secure your place in history fighting opioid abuse.
I request that you use your position to show your strength and immediately overrule the ineffective Attorney General and reinstate the Cole Memo and other appropriate guidance. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely, (go fuck yourself)
