Attorney General Jeff Sessions vowed to use federal law to get tough on marijuana, announcing in January he was ending Obama-era protections for the nascent pot industry in states where it is legal. Six months into his mission, he is largely going it alone.
Mr. Sessions own prosecutors have yet to bring federal charges against pot businesses that are abiding by state law. And fellow Republicans in Congress, with support from President Donald Trump, are promoting several bills that would protect or even expand the legal pot trade.
As a result, Mr. Sessions, an unabashed drug warrior, has struggled to make his anti-marijuana agenda a reality, a notable contrast with the success he has had in toughening law-and-order policies in other criminal justice areas.
Marijuana advocates say Mr. Sessions approach, in seeking to spur a crackdown on the legal marijuana market, has largely backfired. It has catalyzed bipartisan support for research, they say, and for action to improve the young industrys access to banks, which have been generally unwilling to accept proceeds from pot sales.

Something the President, nor the Congress, nor the vast majority of the American people want.
What's wrong with this guy?
Dementia. Maybe he is so stressed that dementia took over. He isn’t that old really, but it hapoens.
HELLO, MCSESSIONS.
HELLO!!!!!
Jeff Session has been AG for 1 year, 4 months, 1 day.
Or
486 days
There do seem to be more pressing things for the Attorney General to be concerned with, namely his Department running amuck.
.
Time for President Trump to issue an Executive order to his department of Justice to keep their noses out!
.
I guess when you recuse yourself, you have a lot of free time to persue pet projects.
Dementia? More like swamp denizen.
Shouldn’t he be so exhausted from pursuing Huma,Weiner,Hillary,Obama,McCabe,Comey and more for criminal
actions? No time for this stuff.
Words fail. The moron is focused on pot in the middle of an attempted coup.
The only explanation that makes sense is if this is calculated to have a specific blowback, which then provides an impetus for policy change in the form of public awareness and support, to be acted on. That he hasn’t in reality prosecuted anyone based on the announced policy is possible supporting evidence of this hypothesis.
PDJT has basically said that he might, yanking the carpet right under Jeff Sessions. This was recent, like last week. Don't have the links, google is your friend.
Some people just need a good bong hit to chill the f out.
Somebody needs to tell him Hillary, Obama and Comey smoke a lot of weed.
Somebody needs to tell him Hillary, Obama and Comey smoke a lot of weed.
Yep. He did.
This REALLY pisses me off. Sessions is going after pot, an issue few people really care about, while ignoring the important stuff like Killary, Awans, nobama, et al.
Admittedly, Sessions did make a half-hearted attempt at squashing MS13 but I haven’t seen any follow up.
Maybe he is too focused on all on the crime in rural Oregon against the massive local absentee landlord....
