But concern about Sessions has not reached a panic level among all legalization backers, some of whom seem to have accepted that he is likely to be confirmed.
Aaron Smith, executive director of the National Cannabis Industry Association, released a short statement, framing the issue in terms that might appeal to Sessions: “Voters in 28 states have chosen programs that shift cannabis from the criminal market to highly regulated, tax-paying businesses. Senator Sessions has long advocated for state sovereignty, and we look forward to working with him to ensure that states’ rights and voter choices on cannabis are respected.”
