Coincidence: The same day Spicer says there will be "greater enforcement" on recreational marijuana, AG Sessions got of rid of a ban on private prisons.

Sources:

Spicer on Thursday, however, linked marijuana use with the widespread abuse of painkillers, suggesting that allowing recreational use of marijuana could be interpreted as condoning drug use more widely.

“When you see something like the opioid addiction crisis blossoming in so many states around this country, the last thing we should be doing is encouraging people,” Spicer said. “There is still a federal law that we need to abide by when it comes to recreational marijuana and drugs of that nature.” http://fox6now.com/2017/02/23/sean-spicer-states-could-see-greater-enforcement-of-federal-law-against-marijuana/

And the prison"s thing:

The U.S. Justice Department has reversed an order by the Obama administration to phase out the use of private contractors to run federal prisons.

In a memo made public on Thursday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the Obama policy impaired the government"s ability to meet the future needs of the federal prison system.
