Lawmakers Debate Bills To Protect Legalized Marijuana

DENVER (CBS4)– State lawmakers are debating two bills that would protect Colorado from the federal government when it comes to legalized marijuana.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions opposes the drug’s legalization and last month ordered a review of the government’s marijuana policy, which has included a largely hands-off approach in legal marijuana states.
