New Attorney General Merrick Garland
Offers MJ Sector Hope at Federal Level
Merrick Garland, President Joe Biden's pick for U.S.
attorney general, was confirmed by a 70-30 vote in the U.S.
Senate on March 9. The development was cautiously hailed
by some marijuana advocacy groups.
Garland doesn't appear to have as negative a view
of the cannabis industry as his predecessors, though
questions still remain about how the Biden administration
will approach marijuana. It's unclear, for example, whether
Garland might issue an updated version of the Cole Memo,
which was a guiding Justice Department document for
years under the Obama administration.
Garland said during his confirmation hearings that he
doesn't believe prosecuting marijuana-related offenses
22 Marijuana Business Magazine | April 2021
in states that have legalized MJ is a good " use of limited
resources " by the DOJ. But Garland did make clear he will
continue to pursue some types of enforcement to " be sure
there are no end-runs around the state laws that criminal
enterprises are doing. "
