Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions thinks many people are very bad.
During a Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control hearing Tuesday about how the Department of Justice is monitoring the effects of marijuana legalization in states like Colorado and Washington, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) bemoaned that years of work “trying to send that message with clarity that good people don’t smoke marijuana” hasn’t resonated.
Depending on how you define things, that means that either 44 percent or 11 percent of Americans are baddies. According to a Gallup survey from last summer, those respective percentages represent the proportion of citizens who have tried marijuana and those who say they use it regularly.
