participate in any enforcement action related to legal businesses or small personal possession of marijuana by adults. do you see yourself as essentially picking a fight with the justice department? picking a fight with the federal government on that? do you expect backlash from that decision today? >> you know, i would normally say no but with this department of justice and this president, i think we have to assume there will be a backlash. we have staked out the position on immigration to make sure that we're true sanctuary city and they have already told us to they will deny the funding. we will have to fight that. but we'll protect our legal businesses. but we can also protect public safety at the same time and folks on large criminal organizations, on violence, on kids and have an approach that's really holistic and have a public health harm reduction model for this war on drugs. i hope we don't have the backlash, but i'll tell you, we're ready for it. >> jenny durkin, former u.s. attorney, mayor of seattle,
