My God, does anyone think Sessions did the right thing?
He's the one who said the only problem with the KKK is that they smoke pot.
Republicans rebuke Sessions over latest marijuana crackdown
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced earlier this week that the Department of Justice will take a more hands-on approach with states that have legalized marijuana. It's a reversal from the policy under the Obama administration and it contradicts what Trump has previously said, which is that weed legalization is an issue that should be left up to the states, not the federal government. Axios' Alayna Treene breaks down what you need to know about Sessions' latest marijuana crackdown:
Trump's hands are tied by the Controlled Substances Act of 1971 that lists pot as a Schedule 1 drug, that has no medical use, and is illegal even with a prescription
Congress can end the issue by removing Pot from Schedule I and sending the bill to Trump for signature.
Which congress needs to do expeditiously.
