A couple of months ago a class action lawsuit was filed against Sessions due to medical marijuana not being legal in all states. It was filed on behalf of a veteran, a 12 year old who suffers seizures and, a retired NFL player who suffered injuries. It was long over due. It will be interesting to see how it goes. Too bad it isn't getting more press.
When it comes to recreational use, Trey Gowdy grilled the White House Drug Policy Director on how he could justify marijuana being listed as a class 3 drug. This makes marijuana considered a more dangerous drug than cocaine or meth. Gowdy was clear to say that it is not for legalizing it but, condemns the over criminalization of it. He ridiculed the guy. It was a a riot to watch. Coming from Gowdy, of all people, it was at least a step in the right direction.
If the Trump administration goes after marijuana, it will backfire on them. This said, I voted for Trump and, would over someone like HRC. But, it is disappointing to see religious wingnuts like Sessions in his administration. I've got to wonder if he feels he owes it to the Fallwell type crowd to appoint such nutjobs.
