FILE - In this Dec. 15, 2017, file photo, United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaks during a news conference at the Justice Department in Washington.

The effort takes a cue from the national fight over immigration. Just hours after Sessions announced on Jan. 4, 2018, that federal prosecutors would be free to crack down on marijuana operations as they see fit, the mayor in Berkeley, California summoned a city councilman to his office with a novel idea on how to capitalize on the turmoil.
