Marijuana advocate sees Sessions' ouster as a plus

With Nevada’s marijuana industry flourishing, one of its greatest threats was eliminated this week when President Donald Trump forced the resignation of U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions after nearly two years on the job, a leading Las Vegas pot advocate said.

It is hoped that Matthew G. Whitaker, a former football player for the University of Iowa and Sessions’ chief of staff since October 2017, will take a more progressive stance on marijuana as acting attorney general than Sessions, said Andrew Jolley, president of the Nevada Dispensary Association.
