Trump’s nominee for Attorney General good on marijuana

Good news from William Barr’s confirmation hearing!

In a break from [Jeff] Sessions, [William] Barr said his Justice Department would “not go after” marijuana companies operating in states that have legalized cannabis.

Marijuana remains illegal at the federal level, and Sessions had rescinded the Obama administration’s rules that such companies wouldn’t be targeted — the so-called “Cole memo.”

Barr added, though, that “I think it’s incumbent on the Congress to make a decision as to whether we are going to have a federal system.”
