I agree, not sure why the downvotes. The only thing that I see, is that the current AG is not in fact following a Nixonian anti-weed script at all. Which is why the present administration is not going militaristically crazy trying to politically attack states that are legalizing / have legalized.

Trump is crazy right? Sessions is a fascist right? Why haven't they unleashed the US Government very aggressively to raid and abuse the states? Who can stop them from doing that? Nobody. They aren't doing it. As far as comparing versus past AG behavior, Sessions is acting like a libertarian (again, by contrast to how things used to be during peak drug war). When California legalized pot for medicinal use, people all up and down the liberal Clinton Administration tried to argue / fight against it. I don't see the Trump Admin doing much of anything toward California (and the rest, DC, Washington, Colorado, et al) on this legalization front.
