The US Department of Justice could be preparing to crack down on states that have legalized medical marijuana, which doesn’t bode well for the three states that have legalized online gambling, or for any other state that hoped to join that trio.

On Thursday, White House press secretary Melissa McCarthy, sorry, Sean Spicer told reporters that the DOJ would be “looking into” the question of whether to take action against the eight states (plus the District of Columbia) that have legalized recreational marijuana use.

Federal law makes recreational marijuana use a crime but President Barack Obama’s DOJ opted not to enforce these laws. On Thursday, Spicer said “I do believe that you’ll see greater enforcement” against pot-friendly states, although he hedged by saying that decision was ultimately up to new DOJ boss Jeff Sessions.

At his confirmation hearing last month, Sessions played coy when quizzed as to his view of the marijuana situation, saying only he would use “good judgment” in deciding how to act. However, Sessions proclaimed last year that marijuana “is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized… it is, in fact, a very real danger.”
