I'm actually not clear that Trump know what Session's does unless someone throws it in his face. Session's will clearly do anything he can to slow the industry, it's up to Congress, and/or Trump to limit or eliminate what he can do.
To me, other than legislation, nothing that is happening is permanent. The next administration could turn it around completely, and we would have to start from scratch. I cannot say if this could come in 2020, or if we could have a President Pence before than, and I'm of the belief that he might be harder on cannabis than Trump. What we really need is legislation. I'm not even certain that if the DEA changed the category for cannabis that another administration couldn't reverse that action.
We are living in a world where science is becoming less meaningful when it comes to politics. Issues like stem cells, climate change, and cannabis have evangelical factions that oppose what scientists can show is happening. It doesn't end what the scientists are doing, but it slows it, and frequently it moves leadership to countries like Israel, where science is held in high regard.
I received stem cells, but they were adult stem cells. Had placental stem cell development been permitted decades ago when they were first discovered, it may have come from the science developing around it. The difference may have been that rejection might not have been an issue at all, or perhaps they would have actually found a way to not need to kill off my entire immune system before the stem cell transplant. I certainly don't know that it would have been better had progress been allowed, but it certainly could have been. Likewise, their is no telling how much cannabis based drugs may have helped with recovery, hospitals I believe our still prevented from using them even in States where they're legal because of their classification, except if they are doing an authorized trial.
My point is that legislation is the only thing that is reasonably permanent, anything less can often be overturned by a single person who's of the other opinion, especially if that person is the President, but often by someone appointed by the President if the President doesn't intercede. If the time isn't yet right to put it into legislation, perhaps it will be in the next Congress.
