Obama and mmj!

So while studying this morning for my 8am exam (only reason I caught the AM news), I heard some good news from the Obama man:

Obama administration says it won't target medical marijuana users in states where legal | Natio...

great stuff!
:stoned:

The D.A. seems to feel a tad different in L.A.

My Way News - LA's top prosecutor vows to target pot shops

once again, Obama is getting credit, for basically doing nothing ... this is identical to all of his prior press releases, regarding medical marijuana ... I like to hear it, but what does it change ? ... the arrests, raids, and prosecution are still dependent upon the 'judgement' of law enforcement agencies ... there is NO hard written rules, prohibiting arrests ... my boss can tell me he'd like to see a lot of work done in my 8-hour shift, but that doesn't mean anything, if he doesn't spell out, what I have to have accomplished ... more 'talk', from a professional politician :wtf:

New Medical Marijuana Policy

New Medical Marijuana Policy

Well...It's not going to change immediately over night - but this is just another stepping stone leading to the ultimate goal

It's better than hearing they are going to crack down even harder
:stoned:

this is already posted all over the forum, is just another repetition of earlier 'statements' ... doesn't mean much, some LEO are already pointing out, the prez., does not have the legal authority, to tell them how to enforce Laws, that are on the books ... more political double-talk ... don't fall for this clown's bullshit :(

yup, ya got that right :thumbsup:

However, the freedom it gives to the individual state to decide it's own policies regarding marijuana is very positive step in the right direction.

I agree completely. A baby step in the right direction. Have I read it correctly that this gives more freedoms to the individual states to decide what their policy will be? If so....Bravo.
