Many conservatives think Jeff Sessions’s anti-pot memo is “a step in precisely the wrong direction”
Libertarians and conservatives are pushing back against Sessions’s anti-marijuana guidance, and for legalization through legislation.
By Jane Coastonjane

"For many, the move from Sessions and the Justice Department is at best frustrating and worst an outright betrayal, especially for libertarians and conservatives who think a federal crackdown on a substance a majority of Republicans support legalizing is a massive step backward, and that marijuana can be the issue to get liberals on the side of federalism and the power of state government. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has promised to block all Justice Department nominations until he receives confirmation that Colorado’s marijuana policy will be able to stay in place — and he’s the chair of the National Republican Senate Committee".
