U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is expected to rescind an Obama-era policy that gave protections to states where marijuana is legal as long as they abide by a series of guidelines, the Associated Press reported, citing unnamed sources.

The move to get rid of what is known as the Cole Memo comes days after legal sales of marijuana began in one of the industry’s biggest allied states, California.
