With Sessions expected to turn back marijuana legalization, what Trump states also voted pro-pot?

I am not up on the current breakdown across the country regarding legalization and would appreciate the input from those who are.

IMO, though, should Sessions act true to form, we should target those states in 2017 and 2018.

Medical marijuana, even though the republican governor was fighting against it.

I think all of our U.S. senators and representatives are republican, and the state house is so republican controlled that they have two republicans show up on the local political talk shows.

This may be the issue that gets things turned back around.

Libertarians voting R is like Charlie Brown trusting Lucy to hold the football.

A new AG who is more concerned with pot* than terrorism and a POTUS who doesn't take full national security briefings.

*and porn in Ashcroft case.
