Justice Department Issues Memo on Marijuana Enforcement
The Department of Justice today issued a memo on federal marijuana
enforcement policy announcing a return to the rule of law and the rescission
of previous guidance documents. Since the passage of the Controlled
Substances Act (CSA) in 1970, Congress has generally prohibited the
cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana.
In the memorandum, Attorney General Jeff Sessions directs all U.S. Attorneys
to enforce the laws enacted by Congress and to follow well-established
principles when pursuing prosecutions related to marijuana activities. This
return to the rule of law is also a return of trust and local control to
federal prosecutors who know where and how to deploy Justice Department
resources most effectively to reduce violent crime, stem the tide of the
drug crisis, and dismantle criminal gangs.
"It is the mission of the Department of Justice to enforce the laws of the
United States, and the previous issuance of guidance undermines the rule of
law and the ability of our local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement
partners to carry out this mission," said Attorney General Jeff Sessions. "
Therefore, today's memo on federal marijuana enforcement simply directs all
U.S. Attorneys to use previously established prosecutorial principles that
provide them all the necessary tools to disrupt criminal organizations,
tackle the growing drug crisis, and thwart violent crime across our country."
