In response to sessions rescinding cole memo "I have long advocated for states' rights to regulate marijuana use for their citizens without federal intervention.

"Sessions is a tremendous concern. On the other hand, I don't think the Trump administration is going to want to see him busting into states that have thoughtfully legalized marijuana and the larger number of states that have legalized medical marijuana," Democratic Rep.
