"We hope these recent raids don't represent official administration policy and that Obama will order federal agencies in no uncertain terms to stop harassing medical marijuana patients and providers in California," he said.

White House spokesman Nick Shapiro on Wednesday reiterated Obama's stance that "federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws."

"And as he continues to appoint senior leadership to fill out the ranks of the federal government, he expects them to review their policies with that in mind," Shapiro said.

Bill Piper of the Drug Policy Alliance in Washington said, "The DEA shouldn't need a memo from the White House to know that undermining the will of California voters is a waste of taxpayer money."

LOL!

Pullen said, "There has been no direction as to a change in how we ... enforce federal law." The DEA is a Justice Department agency.

That's classic!
If you read it, where the ... is, close your eyes, and picture her saying it,
"There has been no direction as to a "change" in how we...(says, "uh, huum, hmmmmm," as she holds back a case of the giggles, and through a ear to ear grin goes on to finish with) enforce federal law."

I am still waiting for someone anyone to explain specifically, exactly what Obama was going to do to end the raids, short of declaring himself supreme ruler of the Universe and relocating to a mountain stronghold deep in a volcano with lots of stainless steel everywhere. Shiny.:jointsmile:
What the fuck was he going to ever do! LOL, c'mon now really folks.....

So far he is living up to my expectations, I for one won't be calling him out on anything with regard to his position, I had a translater in my head, the government put a chip in me! HA HA HA From what I can tell he is doing exactly what I thought he would do. Can't figure out why anyone would be "confused" or questioning his position on the issue, I thought that he made it crystal clear, clear as mud for some maybe, but like I said I got a chip in my head!:stoned::jointsmile:

I wanted to translate this for fun.

White House spokesman Nick Shapiro on Wednesday reiterated Obama's stance that "federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws."

(Means exactly what it says, not a whole lot. Depends on what the definition of is is. Depends what you mean by circumventing state laws.)

"And as he continues to appoint senior leadership to fill out the ranks of the federal government, he expects them to review their policies with that in mind," Shapiro said.

(This is called lip service, to appease a fringe group in his party. They are going to review, REVIEW, "REVIEW" the policies with what in mind? Oh yeah, don't circumvent state laws. Right. I am sure our democratic big government congress and senate will really help hold his feet to the fire on that too! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT SHIT! LMFAO!!!)

Nothing that this guy says matters anymore than anything you or I say, he is just a guy, he does not determine or influence federal policy. They might as well got fucking Rusty Trichome to give a statement, no offense Rusty, just trying to point out that this is just a normal guy like you or I. Er uh I guess.:jointsmile:

The jist of it.
Expect nothing, cause that is what we are getting for the foreseeable (sp) future.
You never know though,
maybe,
if you "hope" hard enough......:thumbsup:

People should know by now that if it comes out of a politicians mouth, and sounds too good to be true, it's bullshit. Obama knew just what to say to get gullible people to vote for him, and that they did.

It was still fun to hope for a little while...

[luciddreamer]

Cummon guys, he's only been in for two weeks. For a US government to say something like that is kinda awesome. Look on the bright side of life fellow tokers! :rastasmoke:

While I don't think all our dispensaries are run by gangs and some of them are run by some nice people they are still all run as a for profit business and maybe their prices are so high because they need to worry about legal fees and losing meds and operating hours to these raid.

oh come on. The dude just took office- I think he has a few bigger fish to fry.... such as... you know....the economy going to hell... and 2 wars across the god damn globe.

It took the government weeks to get fresh water to the people DYING in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, I think its going to take a while to get the ball rolling here folks. stop being so impatient

LOL, yeah, suchas, the economy. We're going to pass a bill full of massive spending and tax cuts to fix our economy. The guy's a flipping idiot. You can't put gasoline on a fire and expect it to go out. Unless his administration cuts spending, (which they wont) our problems are only going to get much worse. And using your logic, until he "fixes" the economy he's going to continue to let the DEA do their thing. So the next four to ten or fifteen years the raids will continue :thumbsup:
