The Obama " mandate" was a directive to federal prosecutors to stand down in states that were regulating their individual marijuana laws. Sessions intent is to give discretion to the federal prosecutors in the state to do what they feel is right. BIG Difference. That is why Colorado GOP Senator is crying foul and so many others. The Colorado Senator was personally told by Sessions he would not rescind the Obama mandate. Its a mess. Yes we are CBD and legal but I really feel for the people who need MMJ because this change brings uncertainties. Like weather in florida I hope. Wait a few minutes and the situation will change.
