Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. said today the Obama administration is officially reversing the federal stance on medical marijuana and ordering authorities not to arrest or charge any users and suppliers who conform to state laws.
In guidelines issued today, Justice Department officials are telling prosecutors and federal drug agents that they have more important things to do than to arrest people who obey state laws that allow some use or sale of medical marijuana.
The move clarifies what some critics had said was an ambiguous position of the Obama administration on the controversial issue, especially in the battleground state of California, where authorities have raided numerous clinics and made arrests over the years. Some of those California raids followed Obama’s inauguration in January, after, as a presidential candidate, he had pledged to stop them.
The new guidelines note that federal law enforcement agencies have limited resources and that they need them for more pressing priorities.
Many people from switched from tobacco to marijuana for the health benefits and to avoid the hefty taxes.
So now you are OK with the President repealing federal laws on a whim? I seem to think you were upset about a president doing illegal things like signing statements or ignoring the law….
Even worse, here the President is going to have his prosecutors come after you if you live in some states but not others.
Knowing Eric Holder, he’s probably got some spermicidal GMO hybrid weed he’s going to seed the entire medicinal stock with so he can fulfill his demented duties to his eugenics masters..

that aside…nice to see someone finally coming to their senses on the absurd issue of TheFeds trampling all over states rights.
Does anyone know if *technically*, states could press charges against The Feds if they cared to, for illegal prosecution of a state sanctioned law, business or however you would call a marijuana dispensary.

You know, if you think about it..this all because of religion’s “Anything that feels good must be a sin” delusion. -and it’s millennia long crusade against any and all souls seeking “spiritually enlightenment”
