Lucas,
sign the petition: Denounce Jeff Sessions for cracking down on marijuana.
In a direct blow to science and medicine, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions
is going after states that have legalized marijuana, even those that have
authorized the use of medical marijuana.
On Thursday, Sessions
rescinded an Obama-era federal policy that allowed marijuana to flourish without
federal intervention, in states like Colorado, Oregon, and California.
Now, it’s up to U.S. attorneys to decide if they want to enforce
federal laws against marijuana — and seeing how Sessions just
appointed 17 interim U.S. attorneys, a lot of people are questioning what’s
going to happen next.
This is a direct assault on communities of color, who are disproportionately
affected by marijuana criminalization. Sessions’ decision to go
after marijuana also affects disabled people and other patients who use
medical marijuana.
This decision is wrong and harmful. Click here to IMMEDIATELY sign the
petition denouncing Sessions for rescinding federal policy that allowed
marijuana to flourish.
