Attorney General Jeff Sessions is asking congressional leaders to undo federal medical marijuana protections that have been in place since 2014, according to a May letter that became public Monday.
The protections, known as the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment, prohibit the Justice Department from using federal funds to prevent certain states "from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical marijuana.
So much for states' rights. It's merely a talking point with the right to be used when it suits their specific purposes only.
It's illegal at the Fed level and not recognized by the FDA. You know, those agencies that you so love. Have you ever asked yourself why the Obama admin never took it off the fed lists? Now you know why, so it can be used as a hammer against states who aren't doing what the feds want them too.

Not to worry, Sessions days as AG are numbered, that is what happens when you tie you future to someone doomed to go down as one of the worst President in US history and of-course Lie like a pig in mud.
I guess Florida doesn't need to bother setting up the medical pot shops. The FL GOP has pretty much made it impossible anyway, even though the vote passed by a wide margin.

You can try to blame Obama for this, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

He might resign, but clearly this is Trumps policy too, or Sessions would not be doing it.

It is the ONLY sense to be made. A state can't make something legal that is illegal at the fed level. The entire thing set up by the Obama admin was a ruse and you have fallen for it. If Obama was so sincere about this it wouldn't still be illegal at the fed level. End of story.
