IS AG SESSIONS TRYING TO MAKE CONGRESS GET OFF THE "POT" AND DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA?
Jeff Sessions says if Americans don’t want him to enforce marijuana laws, they should change them
Published: Feb 11, 2017 11:38 a.m. ET
Sessions, in the past, has made it clear he opposes marijuana legalization. “Good people don’t smoke marijuana,” he’s on record saying. And further back he allegedly said he thought KKK members were OK until he learned they smoked marijuana. He has since called that a joke.
But in a Trump presidency, he’d be asked to forward the Trump agenda and not his own, and a spokesman for President Trump made it clear Sessions would be implementing the Trump agenda, which is promising for the marijuana industry.
Donald Trump has supported state’s rights in legalizing and establishing marijuana policies. Robert Capecchi, director of federal policies at the Marijuana Policy Project, said they are cautiously optimistic the incoming administration will continue current policies and not interfere in state laws.

Sessions reassures senators: No pot crackdown imminent
“He told me he would have some respect for states' right on these things. And so I’ll be very unhappy if the federal government decides to go into Colorado and Washington and all of these places. And that’s not the [what] my interpretation of my conversation with him was. That this wasn’t his intention," said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). in an interview.
And since he was confirmed, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) said administration officials have left him with the impression there is no big policy change coming.
"Nothing at this point has changed," Gardner said.
