Did Jeff Sessions Praise Marijuana in a College Rock Band?
A spoof video about the notoriously anti-pot Attorney General was produced by a comedy group and managed to trick some viewers.

CLAIM
While in college, Attorney General Jeff Sessions was in a rock band whose lyrics and album titles championed the use of marijuana.

RATING
False

ORIGIN

<SNIP>

So it would come as a considerable shock to discover that during his college days, before he embarked on a career as a prosecutor and politician, Sessions was purportedly an out-and-out pothead, extolling the virtues of weed in a student rock band.

That’s the claim made in a satirical video posted to Facebook and YouTube in January 2018, by the Los Angeles comedy group Mommy, who run the Very Serious Content Facebook page.

What a shame - I would love if Jeff Sessions had been a pot smoker and supporter at some point in his wasted life.
