President Donald Trump has reportedly lent his support to a U.S. senator from Colorado, promising to back legislation that “protects states’ rights” on legalized marijuana. In a statement Friday, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, a Republican, said he’d received an assurance from the president on the states' rights' issue earlier this week. “Since the campaign, President Trump has consistently supported states’ rights to decide for themselves how best to approach marijuana,” Gardner said. As for marijuana itself, during the presidential race Trump said states should be able to decide their own pot policies. When Trump selected Sessions, a former federal prosecutor and U.S. senator from Alabama, as his attorney general, marijuana supporters girded for a crackdown.
