Editor’s note: With Connecticut still somewhat on the fence when it comes to marijuana legislation, we look to Law.com’s Cheryl Miller and her column, “Higher Law,” for a taste of what’s happening across the country in the wake of the 2018 elections.

Welcome back to Higher Law, our weekly briefing on all things cannabis. I’m Cheryl Miller, reporting for Law.com from Sacramento, where U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions visited just eight months ago, wagging his finger at California’s leaders. Now Sessions is out and the stock market is suddenly riding a green wave on news of his departure. How times have changed.
