Daily Roundup January 6, 2017
A day after Jeff Sessions decided to rescind the Cole Memo, the industry seemed reassured and steadfast that the momentum is powerful and will continue to move forward and build for legalization throughout the country. Representatives from states such as Indiana, Colorado, New Jersey, California, Vermont, and New Hampshire do not seem shaken and plan to move forward with their current legalization efforts and plans to make cannabis available to all.
Meanwhile, Trump doubled down and stated he would support Sessions’ stance on the rescission of the Cole memo, breaking with his campaign rhetoric and his historical views on legal cannabis.

Jeff Sessions’s anti-marijuana move represents a clear violation of President Trump’s repeated campaign promises to respect state cannabis laws.
