President Donald Trump’s administration recently said that it will crack down on marijuana sales in
states that have approved recreational pot use, reported McClatchy Newspapers. The war on drugs--marijuana--is back.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the
Department of Justice will pursue enforcement of federal law against
recreational use, but not medical use. The statement marked a major break with
the Obama administration’s hands-off approach to the growing marijuana
legalization movement.
“I do believe that you’ll see greater enforcement,”
Spicer told reporters at his daily briefing. “Because again there’s a big
difference between the medical use … that’s very different than the
recreational use, which is something the Department of Justice will be further
looking into.”
The decision is certain to provoke a fight with the
states that have legalized recreational marijuana. Those states are Alaska,
California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon and Washington and
the District of Columbia.
