Trump and Sessions break up – Good for cannabis?

For marijuana enthusiasts, Sessions is the most hated man in the Trump camp. But could the tides be turning in their favor?
Recent leaks from within the White House, as well as mainstream reporting, reveal tension levels between Trump and Sessions are at an all-time high. While the tension itself does not have anything to do with marijuana, it could certainly have positive implications for our favorite plant.
We have all seen the ramifications for disappointing the Donald. Chris Christie, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, and most recently FBI Director Comey have all suffered catastrophically once they have crossed President Trump.
And it may be time to celebrate, as an article in Vanity Fair put it, “Now It’s Jeff Sessions’s Turn To Be Trump’s Whipping Boy.”
According to the New York Times, the bad blood began to build when Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia Investigation. In President Trump’s eyes, this emboldened the nay-sayers accusing him of wrong doing, and was seen as a betrayal of confidence committed by Sessions, one of his earliest supporters during the campaign.
Additionally, as reported by the New York Times, the president blamed Sessions’s recusal for leading his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, to appoint special counsel to oversee the Russia inquiry.
More recently, the tension has begun to boil over due to the reemergence of Trump’s attempted travel ban, and the Department of Justice’s involvement in it. Trump recently commented that “The Justice Department should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version the submitted to the Supreme Court,” he seethed.
According to law professor and occasional Trump apologist Alan Dershowitz, Trump is acting like any angry client who wants better results from his legal team.
The combination of these grave sins against President Trump exploded further, with CNN reporting that Sessions threatened to quit his post amid the repeated clashes. Even more telling, was Trump’s silence after a reporter asked if he still had confidence in Sessions. “Thank you,” he responded, as he began heading towards his helicopter.
Based on the two logical outcomes of the feud, there are a few implications for marijuana – mostly being positive.
