"The Trump administration is readying for a crackdown on marijuana users"
"President Trump’s Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety, led by Sessions, is expected to release a report next week that criminal justice reform advocates fear will link marijuana to violent crime and recommend tougher sentences for those caught growing, selling and smoking the plant."
"Sessions sent a letter in May asking congressional leaders to do away with an amendment to the DOJ budget prohibiting the agency from using federal funds to prevent states "from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical marijuana."
"On Wednesday, Sessions reportedly re-established a controversial criminal asset seizure program ahead of the committee’s recommendations."

Twenty one States now allow medical marijuana, eight others recreational use, and States rights is supposedly a big issue with conservatives, interesting to see how this is going to play out in red states as Montana, Arkansas, and Louisiana
Can't believe it is an issue the GOP wants heading into 2018
