Abstract

Three days after California became the sixth state to legalize recreational marijuana, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced he was ending a policy that deferred to states liberalizing their marijuana laws. The 2013 Cole memo, issued by the Obama Justice Department and now overturned, stated that the federal government would not move against those acting in compliance with robust state marijuana regulations.
