Sessions screws all the blue states...

Sessions returns the USA to pre-Obama 420 laws. Now sales cannot be deposited in banks. DEA agents can arrest you for doing something *completely legal* at the state level.

60%+ of the electorate wants legal pot. But Deliverance says "no" and now peeps can (and will) go to prison.

There are eight states where 420 is completely legal. All blue. All screwed.

Take one step forward, two steps backward...

...this is going to backfire at the red-state level as well. 60%+ of the electorate isn't going to be restricted to blue states.

In case you haven't noticed, even deep-red Oklahoma is about to vote on a medical-marijuana initiative. Do you think they want Big Brother Beauregard to come in and tell them "it doesn't matter what you decide?" Speaking of which, his revocation of the Cole memorandum affects medical marijuana as well, not just recreational, and thus red states, too.
