Gov. Wolf Warns AG Sessions About Interfering In Pa.s Medical Cannabis Program
In his letter, Wolf warned Sessions, “If you seek to further disrupt our ability to establish a legal way to deliver relief of medical marijuana to our citizens, I will ask the attorney general of Pennsylvania to take legal action to protect our residents and state sovereignty.”
The governor’s view is shared.
“I don’t think the federal government should have a say in that, especially if the states have already adopted something,” says Jack Durange of Bellevue.
“Why would they charge them with a crime if it’s due to a medical reason? So I think that’s wrong,” adds Liz Cheatham of Verona.
“The United States of America is about states’ rights, and the states should have a say-so in how their state is governed,” notes Dan McBride of Washington.
Pennsylvania will soon award licenses to grow medical marijuana, but some worry the feds may step in to prosecute those who grow, prescribe, and use medical cannabis.
“There certainly is a lot of worry,” says Hosford.
Sessions has zeroed in on medical cannabis.
“I think medical marijuana has been hyped — maybe too much,” says Sessions.

Piss off, Sessions.
Glad Wolf is standing up to the nazi elf.

Wolf has generally been low-keyed during his term so far (unfortunately our state legislature is all GOP), so good to see him rise up on a national topic like this. He is up next year, so hopefully we can get him re-elected here in order to have him in during the 2020 census.
Most of our legislature is repub, because it is gerrmymandered.
Let's hope that gets corrected.
Some of the western states such as Colorado have turned marijuana into a major industry.
We should see what Sessions has planned for CO (if anything) before we take a stand. If Sessions doesn't interfere in CO then there should be no worries here in PA.
Just sayin'
