What I find most interesting about this story is what it tells us about the next four years -- namely, we don't know what we're in for. No matter who becomes president, we can expect the worst federal governance since Jimmy Carter. It's a frightening prospect -- and there's nothing we can do about. It's unstoppable. Egads!

While they may end federal intervention on pot clubs, look for more federal intervention on guns and conservative speech.

Who can say? Even Bush said he’d back mediical marijuana for any State that wanted it.

[Thrownatbirth]

he was "concerned about folks just kind of growing their own and saying it's for medicinal purposes."

Isn't Barack amazing? You just can't get anything past this guy.

Of all the things in the world to worry about a few pot clubs in Kalif are near the bottom of my list. Since pot makes people lethergic most of them don’t bother to vote. Since we are talking about Than Franthithco liberals here this is a good thing.

When I start to get really overwhelmed w/ the thought of DOOM because of the way things are going in the USA politically, I read and reread this (particularly the last verse where it says he HOLDS all things together):

Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

No way. Obama might be as bad as Carter, but not McCain. The thing to do is to vote for McCain.

"Ever since California voters became the first in the nation to legalize medical marijuana in 1996 ..."

Uh huh. And how is that working out for them -- anyone bother to ask?

"Medical" pot is being sold to "patients" at higher than black market prices -- something not authorized by California law. "Doctors" are recommending pot without even seeing "patients". (Actually, it's more like validating the existing use than recommending a treatment.)

The citizens are starting to object at the number of pot "clinics" popping up -- the latest being the one at Fisherman's Wharf, a popular tourist attraction.

Californians need to re-evaluate their own situation before asking the candidates to support what looks like a failed experiment, given the rampant abuses.

Does the unknown really have to be frightening?

All three of them would be stopping the prosecution of pot clubs for exactly the wrong reasons.

I would love a president who said “The marijuana is grown and sold within the state, so there is no federal authority to regulate it.”

The war on pot has failed. Defund it and end it.
