Marijuana industry leaders in the state and around the U.S. have launched an opposition campaign to the Senate confirmation of the Republican senator from Alabama and are appealing to the Trump camp to make sure the president-elect’s policies are consistent with his campaign comments that he favors allowing states to decide how to enforce marijuana laws.
The article also mentions Thiel and $75M stake in the marijuana industry. Hopefully he may have some influence with Trump and as Trump is pro business would not want to hurt a growing industry, and direct costs of fighting against drugs to fighting against other drugs than marijuana.
