Most
of my faithful readers are now sharp enough to already know the answer
to the present controversy regarding AG Session's enforcement of federal
sanctions against state-legalized marijuana.
My
readers know that AG Sessions isn't addressing the actual states. He
is addressing the federated "States of States"--- which he has control
over because they are nothing but corporate franchises of the federal
parent corporations.
Does Burger King, Inc., have the right to dictate policy and rules and place limits on your local Burger King franchise?
Of
course, they do. That is what being a franchise is all about. You buy
into a successful product line and marketing system in order to promote
it and profit from it.
So your local Dairy Queen carries the same ice cream, same menu, same signage, same uniforms as every other Dairy Queen.
It's
the same way with the federal corporations. You want to be a
Territorial franchise and share in federal block grants? Fine, you
organize a "State of State" franchise and toe the parent corporation's
line.
You want a share of federal racketeering profits? You open a STATE OF STATE franchise. Same deal.
So
when Attorney General Sessions tells his corporate goons to enforce the
parent corporations' policy about marijuana on the State of State
franchises-- does he have the right to do so?
Of course, he does.
You
can't have Burger King serving Kentucky Fried Chicken, right? If you
are a franchise operation you have to ride for the brand, wear the
colors, adhere to the menu, prepare the product according to the
centrally controlled recipe...
So
Jeff Sessions is just telling the franchises to get back in line and
obey the franchise agreement and follow the parent corporation rules.
And
from his perspective, this makes perfect sense-- especially when these
State of State franchises are taking in billions of dollars in new
revenue from marijuana sales -- and aren't cutting the Mama Corporation
in on the deal.
So
this is NOT a "state's rights" issue. AG Sessions isn't talking to the
states. He is talking to the States of States, which are franchises of
federal corporations he represents.
In
truth and in fact marijuana use has ALWAYS been lawful. There is no
way for any actual state to interfere with your right to grow, eat,
smoke, or otherwise use a plant however you see fit.
Also in truth and in fact, no actual state can control in-state domestic sales and trades involving marijuana.
It's
only when marijuana sales cross state lines and it becomes an issue of
"interstate trade" that sale or transport of marijuana becomes a federal
issue at all.
So
here is the deal-- growing and using marijuana is lawful and always has
been. So long as it is purely in-state and local, the federal
government has nothing to say about it, similar to the situation wherein
anyone can make their own beer and wine and hard liquor without any
government interference, but even more liberal, because the federal
government was given explicit control over interstate commerce involving
alcohol, tobacco and firearms (as sources of income supporting the
federal government) and has never been granted any special interest in
drugs at all.
But, does the federal corporation have the right to set and enforce rules and policies for its franchises and employees?
You betcha.
Now
it is just a matter of each and every one of you making your choices
and deciding what your political status is and whether or not you are
going to serve the federal corporations as "volunteers" (which they
claim we are) or as employees or as franchisees?
You
decide whether or not you are a "US citizen" and obligated to follow
every whim and policy of Congress or not. Are you a franchisee? Are
you subject to the rules of the US Army? Do you have to obey the
company policies of the Company?
Jeff
Sessions is well-within his rights to boss around the States of States
and STATES OF STATES. And he isn't even talking to the actual states
and people, because he knows better.
But do you? Does the Congressional Delegation "representing" your state?
