state solicitor generals and legal experts talk about federal drug policy and the impact of legalization on neighboring states. this is about an hour and a half. >>> i am really pleased to have a chance to introduce you to our next session which is current and emerging issues of legalized marijuana. when i was thinking about this panel, i thought what in the world am i doing moderating on marijuana. i think my wife said he probably drew the short end of the joint. [laughter] just to clarify unlike the session we had yesterday, this will not be an interactive session. [laughter] it's undeniable over the last decade we've witnessed a tremendous shift in the legalization of marijuana in various forms among the states. as of today, four states, colorado, washington, oregon and alaska and district of columbia legalized th recreational use ad another 25 states have d., biased position. indeed it's a testament for the timeliness of the session voters and ain at least nine states wil decide the various measures this november. arizona, california, maine, massachusetts, nevada consider legalizing

and maine's marijuana legalization act aims to legalize the sale of marijuana to adults ages 21 and up, to impose and excise tax of 10% on recreational marijuana sales. meanwhile, four states and the district of columbia already have legalized recreational as adults. and 20 more states have legalized medical, but not recreational marijuana, including nevada. so, mr. fox, one quick point i want you to -- i'd appreciate your explaining to the viewers and listeners of this federal program. you know, we do focus on how federal issues affect the state here. the office of national drug control policy, they note, quote, the state marijuana laws do not change the fact that using marijuana continues >> i'm going to let robert take that one. >> i guess the federal policy guy. >> yes. i mean states have their own laws and the federal government has its own laws as well. it's pretty clear under the controlled substances act, which is the federal statute, that i guess made marijuana illegal, that states can set their own criminal policies when it comes to drugs. so states can end their prohibitions

they were reluctant to legalize even medical marijuana, but these states did legalize cbd, which is one chemical found in the marijuana plant. they legalized it for certain medical purposes. their representation is up there in the black. it's hard to tell them from the prohibition states. one remarkable thing you see on this chart up there is that as of today, as of 2016, we have 43 states that allow some people to use marijuana legally. in other words, they have gone beyond mere decriminalization. they allow certain people to use and possess the drug legally. even though throughout this entire period the content of federal law has remained unchanged. of course, federal law bans the use and possession of marijuana. but i want to suggest to you the states have found ways to work around federal obstacles. let me give you three examples of that. so, the first one, first, the states found ways to get doctors to help police the medical use of marijuana. without exposing those doctors to federal sanctions. this was absolutely critical in those early days of reforms. critical for the medical m

whether wyoming legalizes or even colorado's legalization. one thing i don't do, so it can't really comment about this is that in wyoming the attorney general does not-- is not in charge of criminal prosecution of the local level. we have elected county prosecutors, so most of the drugs mentioned earlier and most of the drug enforcement in the us is done by states, but in wyoming because the attorney general's office does not run the local prosecutions we don't actually engage in the prosecutions until they come up on appeal. then we deal with the appeals. really does do a lot of that. i don't have a history. i don't have that experience. i get a pretty good viewpoint to see was going on at there in the drug trade and we keep statistics. one final thing i will mention that i do is in order to get wiretaps for investigations, i had to review those personally and so judge renken for example receives wiretap applications as his role as a federal magistrate judge and also our local judges receive applications. we have to have strong probable caus

obviously, it's legal. also very importantly, the issue related to pharmaceutical companies and how -- and maybe your guest may want to touch on this. there's been a lot of studies about opioid abuse as well as the overprescription of opioid for painkillers. it seems very clear this is a profit motive situation where you have a lot of these pharmaceutical companies that would prefer doctors to prescribe these type of drugs. maybe just from personal experience, when i was younger, i had like many other people, i had my wisdom teeth taken out and what was i prescribed? octixycontin or some kind of derivative of that, heroine synthetic. as what all my other friends got and what does this do? a lot of people start selling it in the schools. that is just what's happening. >> i'll touch on nick's first point in particular will the cultural issues that surround marijuana legalization. i've written in my book tracing this path of cultural indoctrination in this country about what marijuana is. it creates this misin

best argument for legalizing. legalizing is probation is an abject failure. marijuana is easily and readily available today to anybody that wants it. the choice that we have is not whether or not marijuana is good or bad or yes marijuana or no marijuana. it's simply out there and it exists. we are saying we are far better off taxing and regulating something that's already there, sending those tax dollars to our schools rather than keeping it illegal for the enrichment of criminal drug >> the best argument against is we don't have to look far we look at colorado. he talks about probation being a failure. look what it's done to colorado. there have been increased traffic deaths due to marijuana. accidentle ingestion rates for youth have skyrocketed because they are looking like regular gummy bears. you see colorado leading the nation now in teen use. we don't have to look far to see what it's done to colorado. that's number one, number two, need to know was drafted by marijuana special interests and they have funded over. 0% of their campaign barks 90% of their

so that indicates the view that marijuana right now is a cause i'm legal status. -- quasi legal status but they hope that the person can hold the bankruptcy courts but those in the business cannot. in terms of employment coming from the colorado supreme court unanimously determined and medical marijuana user complies with state law had to be lawful off-duty conduct policy because he was violating federal law. that the conduct was not lawful including of what could be of interest to those here but every state has some version of contact that the lawyer shall not engage to fit the crime so all conduct remains a legal of whether a lawyer may do anything. with the criminal conduct this isn't tim permitted under state law. one and said they colorado ethics rules. >> is good to be here. i got the phone call from the active attorney-general after confirmed to the u.s. senate from the chief japanese bought - - chief deputy spot to be attorney general. and there are some strong opinions with the united states attorney with that legalization to be very adamant and one of the things that i though

most americans however that are comfortable with marijuana legalization or are willing to give legalizationhot want it heavily regulated. the caller discusses wanting it not regulated in the same way chocolate chip cookies are. the reality is chocolate chip cookies are actually pretty heavily regulated when you think about the week and at the very back of into making those into the food safetin thefood safetyt and the production of it so it's important to remember most consumer goods or really any consumer good in the united andd states is regulated to some extent. marijuana tends to be a little bit heavier. >> host: a democratic called that morning. >> caller: i have a question for you. i am in a divorced family, between my ex wife and i., she's married and both she and her husband smoked marijuana regularly. they are big advocates on marijuana.a. she is a nurse in fact, and i think that is wrong as well jeopardizing her job. besides that, the most important thing to me is the fact i have a 12-year-old son with her. we have issues for custody she's in charge of him now due to the way the c

but that is a legal issue. let me close with one other thing -- to other related things looming over this question. advertising of tobacco. tobacco is totally prohibited for children. on top of that, certainly, many people, fortunately -- i have always been one of them -- just completely issue tobacco -- eschew tobacco altogether, particularly for their children. my feeling is very few people do that to sugar or white bread. maybe they should. but that is not where our culture is at, not where judges tend to be at. there, it seems to me, more than any other areas, the dose is the poison. you should not be guzzling gallon after gallon of coca-cola, but if you have it every so often, that is fine, so long as your overall portfolio of eating is good enough. that suggests that, in fact, for many of the recipients, even for child recipients, this is not only legal but also maybe not harmful, and if the kids do but their parents, they will say, one bar, fine. we will control how many you have. but these are not the t

i don't see any legal problems. this isn't in any way run into first amendment objections as i see because it's not hooking individual market conditions. i don't see other constitutional limits either, states, california, texas, florida, big states could potentially try this out on their own. hawaii is always a nice example. i don't think rhode island should do this because, you know, people that might go shopping, connecticut instead, i don't know. i do think a big state could try it out as an experiment. i think that would be fascinating to see. the federal government might try to encourage such a thing. let me say i think this kind of change could have an unbelievableably bigger impact than simply eliminating junk food marketing to kids. one of the problems is we have a whole generation of those already saturated with the marketing and already have their habits and so on. it would take a while to wear off. we could have a more short term substantial and if it worked we decided 25% wasn't enough we could potential

i'll talk a minute a little bit about the legalization we had. it's a very tiny eyed we have a committee and, of course, with open public forums and some of the folks would come in and speak and very, very adamant about their views on marijuana one way or the other so it's a very strongly, people do very strongly held beliefs. .. >> >> one of the things is the recommend, scheduling so the federal government will identify with joint synthesizers asking the state to adopt that. the other thing that i do mean that gives me a little insight into what is happening with the drug trade is when behalf asset forfeitures that is a very hot topic the last several years thinly has some amendments to our laws but i actually make follicles to approve a seizure of guns or money for people who are trafficking did drugs were prepared not the drugs themselves the transporting of many and i got a call yesterday when to have probable cause of the seizure of assets for the drug traffickers. for them to actually forfeit those assets and drug-trafficking. another thing

millions of dollars and it's reached its final legal battle. the sjc now to decide if more than 20,000 convictiones should be globally overturned, or if each kiss should be heard again. >> it's time for the commonwealth to actually restore integrity at the justice system and that means allowing these folks to move on with their lives by wiping their slates clean. >> the aclu argues the state has had four years to figure out how admitted in 2013, to falsifying evidence as a chemist in a state crime lab, evidence that was used in drug convictions. state prosecutors want to proceed on a case-by-case basis. >> we're prepared to roll up our sleeves and do the work that we do daily, in directing each case. >> that could take decades according to the aclu which also argues the state's attempt to reach each defendant by letter is flawed. simply put, says the aclu, state isn't capable of providing meaningful opportunity for people to get their records clean. >> there aren't enough lawyers in massachusetts, and there aren't enough resources in the system

drug and jurgemeyer supports legalizing marijuana. he says all those arrest art any better hundred years ago. >> probation hasn't worked. 84 years ago, arizona voters overturned alcohol prohibition be a ballot initiative because it was a failed policy. took a while legalizing marijuana would reduce crime rates by eliminating arrest for possession, maricopa county attorney bill montgomery says it not the whole story. >> the initial law enforcement contact is not because of possession. we still have contacts with law enforcement out there engaging trigger colorado saw 1% drop in 2014. the first year regression of use was legalized there. that also corresponds to falling crime rates nationwide. supporters say this could have a bigger impact on a bigger crime. drug smuggling. >> we're talking about 75% of all revenue for the drug cartels came from marijuana use. trigger some reports show a dramatic rise in the price of marijuana as states legalize pot but in charge for arizona says that is not about to put cartels out of business. >> we s

we are going out there to play legally. >> as far as i know it is legal. if it isn't, they didn't call it. it is final with me. >> refs don't call it so it is good to know. we did a little reminiscing tonight. our century link poll question, which game winning bronco play the your favorite. tebow mania still reigning thomas pass. >>> coming up, a familiar sight >> the week 12 edition of the college football rankings. buffs number 10. despite losing last week, clemson rounding out the top for. colorado hadn't been mentioned in more than a decade. speaking of a blast from the past we ran into, that there. the original coach mac. our eric christensen caught up with him to talk about his favorite colors and the current coach mac. >> what i learned over the years is that everything rises and falls on leadership. every home. every business. every church in every college football team. they are good. >> reporter: it is a surprising thing. >> i will tell you what to look for so you are not surprised. first and scramble. you have yourself something. >> i see you ar

it is a slightly different model than most legal departments take. that means you are with your primary client and everybody that flows from him or her, and your team helps support them. being embedded with them helps them get ahead of the issues a little bit. so, you can kind of see what is coming down the pike and try to plan for it. but yeah, i answer emails, starting at 4:50 every morning. i wake up really early and i do a couple of hours of emailing before i spend time with my family, before i send them to be off to their various camps and schools. i do work around the clock. i actually really love my job, though. there isy at facebook, a different communication culture because it is facebook. and so, we have groups were people communicate in groups. and there is facebook messenger, which is a very well used tool. that means my email is actually less in number, but the amount of communication i get is fairly constant, which is a blessing and a curse. it is good to be tied with your clients, and they can always find you. with is good to be tight

so we can rehab. >> i will tell you if you legalize the fax foundation, if you legalize every state raise something around $18 billion in tax revenue alone just from the sale of marijuana. >> social problems in colorado particularly, colorado is the state that's really studied it, in washington they haven't really done it social problems have almost overwhelmed the tax revenue. what i'm trying to say to you the only way this works and i agree with you that most states are going to legalize marijuana is if you do a tobacco campaign and tobacco is legal in america. it's like you are an idiot if you do it. you're going to get lung cancer and have emphysema and heart is going to get out. >> that's the way you have to do it. >> you have to do with t. with marijuana. it's glorified now. >> happenstance all of us agree we need this public. >> if you're going to say bad things about marijuana somebody would listen because look at you. i could have been o'reilly. i could have succeeded like o'reilly if i hadn't smoked pot. >> i have a news swear to god this is true. guess who called me just

that has many other vexing legal questions. and did ask me if i use illicit drugs in his you probably. >> so this is just a sampling is the status quo of these conflicting laws. so of course, none of the questions show the larger question of the constitutional structure. and then to be given the negative. to be the most interesting and most pressing questions regard marijuana. >> so for those academics for the m to react and if they rioted in private if that's true. with social services to support that. and what this the consequences? >> but i'd take certainly of colorado or any other state the allies is marijuana it laugh have an effect outside this date which is the classic collective action but there is a proper way but what congress has done is to go off state law enforcement from congress benefited from that and was policing the prior prohibition but now they have no obligation as the colorado member states and then to ban the firearms and state law does not but the way for congress is to pass legislation to grandfather fe

that's a factual observation, i think, not a legal holding and it can't really be a legal holding because it's not an element of article 3 standing. the court has an open field here to draw a line. but i will also say in the gladstone case there were other plaintiffs and testers who were claiming violation, the right to sue that the court recognized and also neighbors who lived in the same housing projects or same developments who sought the benefits of increased diversity, et cetera, who were held outstanding and, of course, under article 3 standing, if only one of the plaintiffs in the group have standing, they all have standing, but not the case with this kind of statutory standing analysis. >> yes. >> i mean, i think we have to recognize the way it is housing act is pretty distinctive. we have to respect the congressional plan. i think it goes along with what you have to say. one you have the text, any person that claims to be been injured by discriminatory, we need to respect that. the court's cases say pretty much that means what it says. we can kind of knock off who is allowed with

others sneak in through the legal ports of entry. we, customs and border protection, man the ports of entry. everything in between the ports of entry is patrolled by border patrol those agents watch this tall fence, this short one, sometimes n cities, desert, mountains, farmland. but noall the undocumented workers in the u-s made it here by escaping an agent's watchful eye. a pew research center report estimated nearly half of the unauthorized migrants originally came in legally, but then overstayed their visas. how is this ever going to stop? (shrugs, laughs) that's a tough question. there's always going to be people wanting to come to the united is a controversial campaign topic. that's why border patrol and customs and border protection agents were given strict instructions not to speak out publicly, not to take a side when talking to me. does there need to be more security along the southern border? does there need to be a wall? that i can't comment on. off camera, i talked to agents and officers throughout our travels. they, lik
