Eric Holder: Jeff Sessions has an 'almost obsession' with marijuana

Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that current Attorney General Jeff Sessions has an “almost obsession with marijuana,” and said the Justice Department was right to allow states to regulate recreational marijuana sales.

As attorney general from 2009-2015, Holder presided over a Justice Department decision to allow states to regulate recreational marijuana sales in violation of federal law so long as certain enforcement triggers such as underage sales and interstate smuggling weren’t tripped.
