It's no secret that Sessions dislikes the marijuana industry -- which is why his commentary before the Senate Appropriations Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Subcommittee this past week is so incredible. While being questioned, Sessions said -- and I hope you're sitting down for this -- "there may well be some benefits from medical marijuana."
According to online publication Marijuana Moment (https://www.marijuanamoment.net/sessions-admits-there-may-well-be-some-benefits-from-medical-marijuana/), Sessions also intimated that additional federal grow facilities would become a reality for the purpose of cannabis research. "We are moving forward and we will add fairly soon, I believe, the paperwork and reviews will be completed and we will add additional suppliers of marijuana under the controlled circumstances," said Sessions.
Expanding clinical research is particularly important given that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency enacted new guidelines in 2016 allowing for broader medical research. Despite receiving more than two dozen federal grow applications for clinical purposes, the Justice Department hasn't yet OK'd a single one.
