Curious to know how you all feel about this? Personally, I believe state law should almost always take precedent over federal law, and that the move made by the Obama administration was beneficial to that approach. This appears to be an attempt to erode the weight of states' laws. Jeff Sessions' thoughts about marijuana are probably worthy of a separate discussion; that guy is off his fucking rocker comparing it to heroin.
