Hello again, here are some more federal marijuana laws, and this is a biggie: did you know that if U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions gets too excited down there in Washington, D.C. that he could send federal agents to Vermont to arrest people under federal law for selling bongs and roach clips?
I’m actually more worried about homeless people today. A woman in one vehicle, and a boy by a truck, stopped in front of my house. He was struggling to tie something around a heavy object in the back of the truck. The woman said he was 12 years old and that she had other sons, and one was attending a local school for one month, and that was why they were “up here”.
Then she aggressively asked if I could hire her boys for work around the house. What are the child labor laws for 12 year olds? Who was driving the truck? Was the 12 year old driving? I didn’t see anyone but the mother and son, and she came from the vehicle ahead of the truck. She assertively went on and on about “what good energy” my place had (house and yard?) and she wanted to know if she could come visit me. Huh? Does that mean she is (a) homeless?; or (b) an undercover agent spying on my perennial political campaign? Next time, if someone is struggling to tie something around a large object on the back of a pick up truck, I won’t offer to help. It had to be a ruse to get me out of the house to leave a 12 year old struggling with trying to tie something on the back of a pick up truck.
So, here is something else that makes no sense: more federal “marijuana” laws, also spelled in federal laws as “marihuana” with an h, and “cannabis”.

Remember, there are a lot more federal marijuana laws, so
be looking forward to more parts in this series for citizens to ponder
the big questions: Why do we have any state marijuana laws at all
when there are already more than enough federal laws?
Are taxpayers being charged twice, to investigate and prosecute
people under both state and federal laws?
