Jeff Sessions ends policy that let legal pot flourish
Justice Department Issues Memo on Marijuana Enforcement

Last Updated Jan 4, 2018 2:47 PM EST

Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a marijuana enforcement memo Thursday rescinding the Obama administration's guidance, which enabled states to legalize marijuana without federal intervention. His one-page memo makes it clear that marijuana possession and distribution is against federal law, and it will direct U.S. attorneys to approach these cases as they do all other cases when enforcing them.

The move now injects uncertainty into the growing industry in the regions of the country that have legalized the drug, CBS News' Jeff Pegues points out. Many are likely to be confused about whether it's okay to grow, buy or use marijuana in states where it's legal, since long-standing federal law prohibits it.

So far eight states and the District of Columbia have legalized the drug for recreational use, and it is now helping to fund schools and even law enforcement. California just began selling recreational marijuana in recent days. The new guidance threatens to upend sales by giving federal prosecutors more discretion in how they enforce federal law. According to a senior DOJ official, "This is the return of the rule of law," Pegues reports.

Sessions told reporters Thursday that the Obama guidance in the Cole memo -- written by then-Deputy Attorney General James Cole -- wasn't consistent with federal law.

"It was interpreted as a safe harbor for individuals," Sessions said. "This memo does not have safe harbors in it."

He said that U.S. attorneys should understand that the attorney general believes marijuana is against federal law, and should there be prosecutions that need to be brought in order to enforce that law, "then they should" bring those cases.

1. It's all illegal under federal law.
2. He game his US attorneys to prosecute whatever they see fits with regard to Marijuana.

You asked how he could stop legal weed. I gave you the answer. Because it's still illegal.

this fakkit isnt gonna do anything

hes just keeping up appearances by "reaffirming his stance". how the fukk is jeff sessions gonna stop legal weed in colorado? gardner would make it a national rally

But I'm still trying to figure out why you're calling Dems spineless when all the states that support recreational weed are pretty much Dem states.

Justice Department Issues Memo on Marijuana Enforcement

"The Wall Street Journalreported on June 10, 2018 that “Attorney General Jeff Sessions vowed to use federal law to get tough on marijuana, announcing in January he was ending Obama-era protections for the nascent pot industry in states where it is legal. Six months into his mission, he is largely going it alone.” His prosecutors have not brought any federal charges and he has inspired supporters of legal marijuana when he revoked the so called “Cole Memo” earlier this year that had provided some protections for state operators of legal marijuana businesses. "

Sessions realized it's not the 1930s anymore and no one cares about weed except law enforcement because it's the way they make their living. He really wanted to go hard at it too

They're still locking people up for weed. Don't be naive. Unless they change the federal scheduling and sentencing guidelines people are still doing big numbers.

This law, while a step in the right direction, does little more than if anything that was under the Obama DOJ recommendations that you all constantly say didn't do enough regarding Marijuana laws.
