7. Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy
Recreational cannabis isn’t officially legal in Vermont yet, but the senior senator from the state, Patrick Leahy, certainly seems to be in favor of it. Or at least, in favor of defending medical marijuana from persecution at the hands of Jeff Sessions. His impassioned statement on the matter reads:
Rescinding [the Cole Memo] is a terrible, facts-backwards decision by Attorney General Sessions…[the] only reason to rescind the memo is because the AG wants to target patients and businesses that are compliant with state laws…I’m now fighting…so we can protect patients and law-abiding businesses.
