Jeff Sessions is rescinding a policy that allowed legalized marijuana to flourish in states across the country. Sessions plans to let federal prosecutors  enforce federal marijuana laws as aggressively as they see fit. 

It is unclear at this point what president Trump's stance is on all of this, but given his history with Sessions, we can expect him to let his Attorney General do as he pleases. Sessions has long been an anti-cannabis proponent and has gone as far as to compare cannabis with heroin - blaming the plant for spikes in violence. 

The majority of Americans would disagree with Sessions and would like to see the plant decentralized, which makes one question the true motives of the Attorney General.
