Even Alabama Republicans Disagree With Attorney General Jeff Sessions' Views On Marijuana Legalization

To make things even worse for Sessions, only 13.9 percent of the Birmingham respondents were decisively opposed to marijuana legalization. “Not even his own state supports him. If Jeff Sessions continues in this position, he can really damage the Republican agenda,” said Cynthia Salarizadeh, the CEO of the cannabis-focused PR firm Salar Media Group.

"Sessions has not done anything all that dramatic here. Everybody lost a day last week in panic, trying to figure out what all this meant, but all Sessions did was rescind a memo that only laid out some enforcement guidelines,” she said.

The Rohrabacher–Blumenauer amendment is still in place, Ostrowitz said. So the Cole Memo’s repeal means that each federal prosecutor will have the ability to decide how to enforce the law — which is not the same as an open “war on cannabis.” And many of those prosecutors have already declared they will not change the way they treat legal cannabis businesses.
