Jeff Sessions move may have opposite affect on marijauna issue. Sessions’ antipathy for a drug that has lost much of its stigma among a wide cross section of Americans has only galvanized disparate factions in Congress to protect an industry that is expected to generate $2.3 billion in state tax revenue by 2020.www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/01/06/jeff-sessions-marijuana-legalization-congress-216251 “There’s a lot of old white men who are marijuana users, and the marijuana is keeping them alive,” Segerblom said from his cell phone while driving around Las Vegas. “Trump is going to have fewer to vote for him if he doesn’t keep marijuana legal.”

Of course it will because it is roughly the same dynamic as that of the prohibition era involving alcohol.

From this one History Channel, the root of marijuana illegalization is actually racist. Pot was widely used by African Americans in the South as apposed to alcohol, and white supremacist groups fanned fears of "reefer madness" amongst the African American population, which lead local laws against it. The initial Federal response was a "Catch 22" situation. You could grow and sell weed if you had the Federal Tax Stamp for it. The trick was that no stamps were manufactured, and this stood until it was officially outlawed in 1971.
