Let’s be clear about who Sessions’ decision will hurt. More than eighty percent of veterans in the American Legion voted two months ago in favor of a resolution legalizing medical marijuana at the federal level.

Millions of people have been arrested for possession or use of marijuana, incarcerated without the means to make bail, and mired in a hopelessly backlogged court system that punishes non-violent offenders with felonies and years behind bars.

States with medical marijuana have seen a correlating drop in opioid-related deaths. Sessions' decision will exacerbate an inhumane, ineffective system that tears families apart. We need criminal justice reform that reduces recidivism and the share of people that we lock up.

I guess Jeff Sessions wants me to go back to taking opiates every 6 hrs, every day. I prefer not to live doped to the gills on Norco & have already ulcerated my stomach with legal ibuprofen. MMJ allows me to have a better quality of life with far less side effects.pic.twitter.com/5tvbqJGmmp

But the for profit prison system is a monster that must be fed and w/o the excessively punitive sentences against Marijuana users who will go to jail? Deincentivize the prison system and there won't be a need for the battle against Marijuana, at least less of a battle.
