Expressing his views on drug policy, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said marijuana legalization wouldn't be "good for us." (Reuters)Attorney General Jeff Sessions is asking congressional leaders to undo federal medical marijuana protections that have been in place since 2014, according to a May letter that became public Monday. That research strongly suggests that cracking down on medical marijuana laws, as Sessions requested, could perversely make the opiate epidemic even worse. Medical marijuana is incredibly popular with voters overall. But Sessions's letter, with its explicit appeal to allow the Justice Department to go after medical marijuana providers, appears to undermine that support.
