he won't interfere with your toking.

My point is that there are some things far more important than smoking something.

Were you not smoking it until you found out that Barr isn't going to come for your stash?

Guy sounds like a progressive Democrat out to save the USA fro all evils.

Plus he has the highly individualistic red tie. A real creative thinker, that one.

And I don't trust him. He wrote an article to get this position making claims he says now he won't do. He's already a liar.

Dude is anti-pot.

All he said was he is not interested in going after pot stores who complied with the "Cohen Memo," i.e. complied with state laws.

That doesn't mean he won't still go after pot USERS.

He also told Cory Booker when he was questioning him about mass incarceration that it is not correct to say the majority of incarcerated drug offenders are nonviolent. He baselessly claimed that they were gang members who were convicted on drug crimes because that was the easier conviction to make. 

What he is basically saying: 1. All black men are gang members; and/or 2. It's ok to keep all those nonviolent African American drug offenders in jail because they were probably guilty of violent crimes they have never even charged for let alone convicted of.

Dude is a sickening racist.

I'm sure I didn't catch every nuance, though. I'll listen to the talking heads and see how the analysis goes.

Ok, I stated one fact of what he said. Doesn't mean I defend him. For fuck's sake.

BLM, liberals, etc.

I'll give Barr a little credit for not playing up to the typical white wing racist trump supporter. I'm sure, though, he was winking the whole hearing.
