US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has rescinded an Obama-era policy that eased enforcement of federal marijuana laws – in a move that critics say is the latest example of Trump administration policies that could hurt communities of colour who have historically been targeted by anti-drug directives.

An official at the Justice Department said that the policies put in place by the administration of President Barack Obama to ease federal enforcement of recreational marijuana distributors abiding by state laws ‘created a safe harbour for the marijuana industry to operate in these states and… there is a belief that that is inconsistent with what the federal law says’.

Federal prosecutors have now been instructed to disregard that Obama policy and have been instructed to approach recreational marijuana dispensaries operating in accordance to state law in the same way that they would any other case.

trumps’ flynn replacement choice says ‘no thanks’..

(excerpt..)

President Donald Trump just can’t seem to catch a break.

Hours after Thursday’s rambling press conference where Trump lamented the messy country he inherited the Financial Times reported the president’s top choice for National Security Adviser has withdrawn from consideration.

During the presser Trump claimed that ‘a good candidate’ was ready to replace Gen. Michael Flynn following his resignation.

However retired navy special forces officer Robert Harward – a close ally of Defense Secretary Gen. James Mattis – reportedly decided that he could not accept the White House position.

‘Harward is conflicted between the call of duty and the obvious dysfunctionality’ an unnamed source told the Times.
