Justice Department May Crack Down On Recreational Marijuana, Spicer Says

JEFF: THE WHITE HOUSE THROUGH
THE MARIJUANA INDUSTRY INTO A
PANIC TODAY AFTER ANNOUNCING
THERE WOULD LIKELY BE GREATER
ENFORCEMENT OF ANTI- CANNABIS
LAWS.
JEFF: PETER DAUT HAS DETAILS AND
REACTION.
REPORTER: IT'S A MAJOR BUZZ KILL
FOR MARIJUANA ENTHUSIASTS.
SEAN SPICER SAID THURSDAY, HE
EXPECTS GREATER ENFORCEMENT OF
FEDERAL LAWS AGAINST POT USE, A
MOVE THAT COULD UNDERCUT THE
GROWING NUMBER OF STATES MOVING
TO LEGALIZE THE DRUG FOR
RECREATIONAL PURPOSES.
HE SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP STILL
SUPPORTS MEDICAL MARIJUANA.
THE PRESIDENT UNDERSTANDS THE
PAIN AND SUFFERING THAT MANY
PEOPLE GO THROUGH WHO ARE FACING
TERMINAL DISEASES AND OTHERS AND
THE COMFORT THAT SOME OF THESE
DRUGS, INCLUDING MEDICAL
MARIJUANA CAN BRING TO THEM.
HE DID NOT DISCUSS DETAILS.
CALIFORNIA RECENTLY BECAME ONE
OF THE STATES TO LEGALIZE POT.
A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE INDUSTRY
AND A LOT OF REGULATORS HAVE
CONCERN.
THIS ATTORNEY SAYS MANY STATES
ARE QUESTIONING HOW TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH RECREATIONAL POT
WITHOUT DRAWING THE WRATH OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
EVERYONE IS LOOKING TO
CONGRESS, HOPING FOR SOME KIND
OF ANSWER TO THESE COMPLEX
PROBLEMS.
REPORTER: SPICER ALSO SEEM TO
LINK IT TO THE WIDESPREAD ABUSE
OF PAINKILLER.
WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE
THE OPIOID ADDICTION CRISIS
BLOSSOMING IN SO MANY STATES
AROUND THIS COUNTRY, THE LAST
THING WE SHOULD BE DOING IS
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE.
REPORTER: THE OWNER OF KOREATOWN
SAY THE FACTS DON'T SUPPORT THAT
CONNECTION.
THAT'S LIKE SAYING ALCOHOL
