Senator Cory Booker is a well-known advocate for the legalization of marijuana. So it should come as no surprise that he spoke out against Sessions after the announcement. This co-sponsor of the CARERS Act had this official statement about the latest anti-pot and anti-progress move from the Trump administration:
