A pro-legalization group has decided to place an unexpected face on a new line of cannabis rolling papers &#8211; that of decidedly anti-legalization U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.<\/p>\n<h2>General Jeff&#8217;s Rolling Papers<\/h2>\n<p>Sessions has said that \u201cgood people don\u2019t use marijuana.\u201d He also has rescinded Obama-era protections that kept the federal government from interfering with states where marijuana is legal. That action plus his anti-cannabis rhetoric has caused many to fear a federal government crackdown on legal marijuana.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, he\u2019s faced criticism for his stance. But even Sessions probably couldn\u2019t see <a href=\"https:\/\/jeff-sesh.squarespace.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this coming<\/a> &#8211; packs of rolling papers with his face emblazoned on the cover, a joint hanging out of his mouth.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s somehow simultaneously manages to be clever, funny and somewhat disturbing.<\/p>\n<h3>Message For Sessions<\/h3>\n<p>The group that made the papers, which they are calling General Jeff\u2019s Old Rebel Session Papers, said they did so because they have a message to send to Sessions. Actually, quite a few messages. According to the group\u2019s website, some of the things they want to tell Sessions includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cWe are not criminals, junkies or idiots.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe&#8217;re good, responsible, patriotic Americans. We\u2019re voters from both parties, and no parties.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe are regular Jeffs all over the USA.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe are upstanding citizens who don&#8217;t want to hide every time we want to enjoy a sesh.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They also go on to say that \u201cfrankly, we\u2019re offended\u201d that Sessions, who is the top law enforcement official in the U.S., has called marijuana users bad people. Here\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GsDyc38MstQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the video<\/a> of Sessions saying that, by the way, in case you missed it the first time.<\/p>\n<p>More information is available on the site and at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/jeffsesh?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Ehashtag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#JeffSesh.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The rolling papers, which come in two version, each sell for $5.<\/p>\n<h3>Nixon-Era Thinking<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no word yet from Sessions office or the Justice Department in reaction to the #JeffSesh movement.<\/p>\n<p>Newsweek <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/pot-legalization-group-sells-marijuana-rolling-papers-jeff-sessions-face-827485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">managed<\/a> to track down a member of the group selling the papers, although they did not identify the person. The person said the idea for the papers started as a joke but has grown quickly.<\/p>\n<p>They wrote in an email: \u201cOur intent in actually making these papers is to poke a little good-natured fun at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dispensaries.com\/blog\/recreational-marijuana\/\">Attorney General<\/a>, who doesn\u2019t seem to have changed his mind or read any news about cannabis since the Nixon-era.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group states on its website that they hope the product will serve as a celebration for how far cannabis law has come at the state level and as a message that legalization should be pushed forward nationally.<\/p>\n<p>However, it appears they both know who they are dealing with and have consulted an attorney. The last line on the webpage says the papers are intended for collectible purposes only and \u201cnot for use with any illegal substance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rolling papers come in all shapes, sizes and materials.
