This pretty much says it all:

“Until I clearly understand how the federal government intends to treat states that seek to legalize marijuana, I cannot in good conscience support any scheme in state law to implement expansion of legal marijuana in Maine,” LePage wrote.

Only a "foolish man" would legalize something that is against federal law. AG Sessions is no Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch and Donald Trump certainly isn't Obama. I suspect the "rule of law" has a lot more meaning under the Trump administration than it did under the Obama administration.
