WASHINGTON D.C. (INTELLIHUB) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions told reporters who were at the Department of Justice Monday that “experts” have been telling him that marijuana causes “violence” and is no good.
‘I’m definitely not a fan of the drugs expanded use,’ Sessions said.
“I believe it’s an unhealthy practice and current levels of THC in marijuana are very high compared to what they were a few years ago.”
“Most of you probably know I don’t think America is going to be a better place when more people of all ages and particularly young people start smoking pot,” Sessions pointed out.
“I would just say it does remain a violation of federal law to distribute marijuana throughout any place in the United States, whether a state legalizes it or not.”
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions (Gage Skidmore/Flickr)White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said last week that he expects to see “greater enforcement” of federal laws when it comes to recreational marijuana.
@jeffsessions wants "greater enforcement" of fed. marijuana laws, according to @seanspicer. Will this be a move forward for the US or back?
