Who Said This: “States Can Pass Whatever Laws They Want, But I Don’t Care”

“States can pass whatever laws they want, but I’m not sure we’re going to be a better, healthier nation if we have marijuana sold at every corner grocery store.”
-J. Beauregard Sessions (R), Attorney-General of the United States

Wait. Where’s the part where republicans are for State’s rights? Aren’t they against federal intervention into the internal matters of each State?

California is legalizing recreational use of marijuana on Monday. They are joining 5 states that already have, as well as an estimated 5 billion dollar a year industry per state.

Sessions has said he does not believe marijuana has medical uses

Hmmm well, thousands of licensed doctors disagree with ya there, bud.
