Sessions may end Obama era policy that led to legalization of pot

AP NewsBreak: US to end policy that let legal pot flourish

The people familiar with the plan spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it before an announcement expected Thursday.

Sessions, who has assailed marijuana as comparable to heroin and has blamed it for spikes in violence, had been expected to ramp up enforcement. Pot advocates argue that legalizing the drug eliminates the need for a black market and would likely reduce violence, since criminals would no longer control the marijuana trade.

Comparable to heroin, the drug that currently kills more Americans than traffic accidents? That must be a bit difficult to support. Also difficult to support: outlawing pot actually keeps people from smoking pot. All it does is drive the market underground and line the pockets of the drug dealers and gangsters.
