The Colorado State Senate Democratic Caucus tweeted today, "Well give Jeff Sessions our legal pot when he pries it from our warm, interesting to look at hands." Jeff Sessions decision to attack this industry has been causing waves across the board. Not only is it an attack on our right to govern ourselves, it's an attack on an industry that supports small business and local communities. An industry that is helping to support treatment programs for much more dangerous drugs. Colorado Senator Cory Gardner was quoted saying "Sessions is trampling on the will of the voters." Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren called his actions "reckless" and went on to encourage other politicians to take a stance on protecting the states rights to decide for themselves.
Will this attack be the catalyst to full federal decriminalization of marijuana? It certainly appears like the support for it is there, and the willingness to continue this lie and unlawful prohibition fading.
