Inslee, Ferguson to Sessions: You’re wrong about Washington’s pot system

Aug. 15, 2017

In measured but firm text, two top Washington officials told the nation’s top law enforcement officer he doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to the state’s legal marijuana business.

Gov. Jay Inslee and Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson responded Tuesday to last month’s letter from U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions that suggested the federal government could, if it chose, enforce federal laws against marijuana even though the state has made its regulated production, sale and use legal. Sessions cited a series of statistics from a 2016 report on drug trafficking in the Northwest.
