2. California Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer
Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer of Los Angeles, California is bringing Assembly Bill 1578 back to the floor. If passed in the state Senate, AB-1578 will prevent both local and state law enforcement from helping federal forces go after state-legal cannabis activities and businesses.
“The intent of Assembly Bill 1578 is to provide state agencies with the protection they need to uphold state laws without federal interference,” Jones-Sawyer said.
He continued with a direct statement about Jeff Sessions: “What [he] is proposing is not a return to “Rule of Law” as he claims; instead he is taking away access to cannabis for children with chronic diseases, cancer patients, seniors and veterans.”
