Attorney General Jeff Sessions 'A Bit Dubious' About Medical Marijuana

However, in the past President Donald Trump has voiced "100 percent" support for medical marijuana.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has repeatedly condemned the recreational use of marijuana. On Wednesday he went a step further, casting doubt on medical marijuana use. 鈥淚 think medical marijuana has been hyped, maybe too much,鈥 he told reporters in Richmond after an event about violent crime. 鈥淒osages can be constructed in a way that might be beneficial, I acknowledge that, but if you smoke marijuana, for example, where you have no idea how much THC you鈥檙e getting, it鈥檚 probably not a good way to administer a medicinal amount. So forgive me if I鈥檓 a bit dubious about that.鈥 (Weiner, 3/15)

Less than two years after the Drug Enforcement Administration officially admitted that 鈥渉eroin is clearly more dangerous than marijuana,鈥 new Attorney General Jeff Sessions revisited that comparison in remarks today before law enforcement officials in Richmond. (Ingraham, 3/15)
