Attorney General Jeff Sessions says he does not like recreational marijuana becoming more prevalent in the U.S.

“Most of you know I probably don’t think America is going to be a better place when more people of all ages and particularly young people start smoking pot,” he told reporters at the Department of Justice (DOJ) Monday, according to Politico.

As the senseless prohibition of cannabis wanes, a booming industry has emerged across North America, complete with handy apps for our Androids and iPhones that help better our experiences with marijuana. We think the five cannabis apps listed here are some of the best available, so make sure you have plenty of free space on your phone and get ready to download.

Attitudes in Latin America are shifting away from supporting prohibitionist policies, but they are far from consensus and the policy implications are unclear.

Sentiments in Latin America in favor of outlawing marijuana appear to be undergoing shifts in some countries, according to researchers in Chile and the UK.

A study published the International Journal of Drug Policy found that, in some parts of the region, more than 40% of respondents supported legalizing the drug, while in other, more conservative areas, support remained minimal.

Colorado’s fearless leader believes legal weed just might be a better system.

Once a hardcore opponent of the marijuana legalization movement, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper appears to be slowly changing his tune with respect to what it means to legalize the leaf for recreational use. In recent interviews, the governor of the first legal jurisdiction in the United States now says he’s “close” to giving it his full support.

Recreational marijuana clubs, also called social lounges, are allowed in some Colorado communities, but state law is murky on whether or not their existence is legal and how they should be regulated. Two proposals currently moving through the legislature aim to add clarity by requiring either voters or local governments to approve the clubs.

Statehouse reporter Bente Birkeland sat down with Kristen Wyatt with the Associated Press and Luke Perkins with the Durango Herald to discuss the details.

On why some people worry about more clubs opening up across the state:

The marijuana community has been waiting on pins and needles to see how the Trump administration would approach marijuana policy. Trump has several long time marijuana opponents as part of his team, and many veteran activists have been fearing the worst, while at the same time trying to not jump to any conclusions. This last week Press Secretary Sean Spicer indicated that ‘greater enforcement’ of federal law could be on the horizon, at least on the adult-use side.

Shares of Canadian and U.S. marijuana producers fell Friday after the Trump administration suggested a crackdown on recreational marijuana may be in the works.

Most of Canada’s publicly traded pot growers ended Friday lower after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer predicted the Justice Department will be looking more closely at the issue.

“I do believe that you’ll see greater enforcement of it,” Spicer said at a White House briefing.

It may be nearing the end of February, but that doesn’t mean that your New Year’s resolution can’t just be starting. But if that resolution was to start getting to the gym more, you might want to hold out a little bit longer – at least until Power Plant Fitness opens San Francisco’s first cannabis-friendly workout space.

Power Plant is the brainchild of Jim McAlpine, who says that cannabis and working out have long been intertwined, they just haven’t had a platform to interact.

“Cannabis has been part of athletic lifestyles for a long, long time. It’s just been hidden,”  McAlpine told RT News.

A bill that's now in Congress could protect Colorado's marijuana laws.

It comes just as the White House hinted at a crackdown on recreational marijuana earlier this week.

It's H.R. 975 and it was introduced by Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.).

The bill is referred to as the "Respect State Marijuana Laws" act. Its purpose is to protect people from being prosecuted under the controlled substance act as long as they are following their state`s laws regarding marijuana.
