Cole Memo

ICYMI: New U.S. Attorney General (Probably) Won’t Harsh Your Mellow After All

March 7, 2019 by Hilary Bricken Leave a Comment

By HILARY BRICKEN, Co-Founder Harris Bricken We’re very likely returning to the 2013 Cole Memo principles now that William Barr has been confirmed as AG — and that’s a good thing. Back on January 4, 2018, the cannabis industry was in a slight tailspin due to then-Attorney General Jeff Session’s (renowned marijuana hater) rescinding of […]

Trump Card: Is A Congressional Legislative Victory On The Horizon For States’ Rights And Pot?

April 18, 2018 by Hilary Bricken Leave a Comment

Hopefully the Justice Department will leave state-legal marijuana businesses alone now. By HILARY BRICKEN  When it comes to cannabis and this Presidential administration, it’s a bit like watching a soap opera, complete with all the drama and emotional crescendos you would expect. In this week’s episode, the rumor is that President Trump struck a deal […]

No Congressional Couch Lock: State Medical Marijuana Laws Protected Through September 30th

March 28, 2018 by Hilary Bricken Leave a Comment

Pot in Congress Anti-Pot Congressmen Bill Feds to "Respect" State Marijuana Laws VA Medical Marijuana Oregon's Marijuana Lobbying Congress Marijuana Reform Amendments Marijuana Banking Reform Bill Senate Bill Banks Marijuana Businesses Banking System to Legal Marijuana Federal Ban on Marijuana

By HILARY BRICKEN The Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment can still be used as a shield for medical marijuana providers…for now. State implementation of medical marijuana laws are safe from interference from the Department of Justice until September 30th of this year. In a highly anticipated move, Congress extended the protections of the well-known “Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment” (the “Amendment”) […]

Update: Sessions Shines Some Light On DOJ Marijuana Enforcement

March 19, 2018 by Hilary Bricken Leave a Comment

The fate of marijuana operators in every state hangs on the prosecutorial whims of the U.S. Attorney in their districts. By Hilary Bricken Recall on January 4, 2018, when U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions single-handedly demolished the federal government’s former cannabis enforcement framework? This past weekend, Sessions finally shined some very brief light on the […]

Reading The Pot Leaves: What The Sessions Memo Means For Marijuana In The U.S.

January 11, 2018 by Hilary Bricken Leave a Comment

This has spurred bipartisan support (and backlash) from Congress for federal legislation to let the states have full reign over marijuana. By HILARY BRICKEN Last week was an exciting and somewhat scary week for the marijuana industry. It started with California kicking off its long-awaited, newly regulated medical and adult use markets on Monday. Then, […]

Neither Budge At Cory Gardner And Jeff Sessions Meeting About Cannabis Wednesday Morning

January 10, 2018 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner said Wednesday that a morning meeting with U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions did little to settle their disagreement over marijuana policy — an impasse that makes it more likely that Congress will have to address the issue. Gardner told Denver7, The Denver Post’s newsgathering partner, that Sessions gave no indication that […]

Marijuana Madness: Jeff Sessions Rescinds State-Legal Pot Policies

January 9, 2018 by Hilary Bricken Leave a Comment

By Hilary Bricken What will the Future DOJ marijuana enforcement look like? It’s finally happening — Attorney General Jeff Sessions will, today, rescind the 2013 Cole Memo regarding federal enforcement in states that legalized cannabis. The Cole Memo, which came on the heels of marijuana legalization in Colorado and Washington back in 2012, set forth […]

Cole Memo No More? Some Initial Thoughts

January 4, 2018 by Patrick Vo Leave a Comment

By Patrick Vo Earlier today, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions officially rescinded the federal cannabis guidance outlined in the Cole Memo.  For those who don’t know, the Cole Memo basically states that as long as states employ effective tracking and regulatory frameworks to limit diversion and promote public safety within their state-recognized cannabis markets, then […]

Jeff Sessions Waives Sword of Damocles

January 4, 2018 by Steven Schain 1 Comment

By Steve Schain With Jeff Sessions threatening to singlehandedly crush $7.2 billion legalized marijuana industry spanning 30 states, generating millions in taxes and providing 10 of thousands of jobs, much confusion abounds. While unclear if merely a “knee jerk reaction” to California program’s launch breadth of coverage, unless and until the United States Department of […]
