Jeff Sessions DID NOT VOW TO PROSECUTE

here is what he said and taken directly from the article previously posted

If the American people are worrying about Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions’ approach to enforcing federal marijuana laws, he says they should get Congress to change them.

Sessions, who President-elect Donald Trump has tapped to become U.S. attorney general, answered questions on marijuana among other issues during his confirmation hearing on Tuesday. And Sessions did not offer a definitive stance on what marijuana enforcement would look like under his justice department.

“I won’t commit to never enforcing federal law, [Sen. Patrick Leahy], but absolutely it’s a problem of resources for the federal government,” Sessions said. “Good judgement on how to handle these cases will be a responsibility of mine, which won’t be an easy decision, but I will try to do my duty in a fair and just way.”

Though 28 states have legalized medical marijuana use, eight states have passed recreational laws and 21% of the U.S. population now lives in a state where smoking weed is legal, the federal law still states marijuana is an illegal substance. And the drug is classified as a Schedule I drug along with heroin, LSD and ecstasy.

Sessions, in the past, has made it clear he opposes marijuana legalization. “Good people don’t smoke marijuana,” he has said. But in a Trump presidency, he’d be asked to forward the Trump agenda and not his own, which is promising for the marijuana industry.
