Medical marijuana advocates were celebrating Thursday night.

The U.S. Attorney General has announced plans to end raids on medical marijuana dispensaries that are legal under state law.

Let’s see if Congress decides they want some pie in order to go along with this.

[Piquaboy]

That would cut of his and BO’s supply.

“Holder said Obama’s campaign promise to stop the raids is “now American policy.”

Perfect...now the opiate of the masses can be the opiate of the masses...next stop, Amsterdam style needle parks...

Great, government actually using logic. The war on drugs is a joke, we could save a ton of money without it and actually make room for harden criminals in prisons.

Look for traffic fatalities and violent crimes to go up under Obama. Ron Paul supporters are rejoicing. Now they can resume their pot lucks.

De facto legalization. Once again, Barack Obama does the bidding of his master Geroge Soros in his quest to destroy our society.

[Huck]

This is a states rights issue. The Feds have no business getting involved. The Controlled Substance Act is yet one more piece of Nixon’s pathetic legacy. It should be scrapped. Let the states regulate this themselves. They have their own laws on gambling, tobacco, and alcohol. Abolish the DEA. Abolish the ATF. Divert all their resources to Border Patrol. Simple.

[Badeye]

Yep.

[Mojave]

Look for traffic fatalities and violent crimes to go up under Obama.

And a stoned populace is a more easily controlled populace. Brave New World.

The real war begins now that the cops are no longer providing you pukes free guard service.

You see what' going on in Juarez? That's the business you're dealing with and it has it's own "enforcement" elements.

A headline ~ "Coming to Your Dispensary Soon ~ 50 Armed Terrorists", but we don't care anymore.

[Huck]

This is good. It’s none of the Feds business. We are supposed to be separate states. Let us govern ourselves, without central planning from DC. If Cali wants to do this, they should be free to do so. We benefit from observing what transpires.

[Mojave]

It’s none of the Feds business.

It's not like pot is fungible or that there is a huge interstate trade in illicit drugs across state lines.

“You see what’ going on in Juarez? That’s the business you’re dealing with and it has it’s own “enforcement” elements.”

No actually legalizing it and taxing it will greatly diminish the criminal element. Leave it up to the states!

[Huck]

And a stoned populace is a more easily controlled populace.

Yeah, all those hippies were SO controllable. LoL. A populace dicated to by the Feds is a more easily controlled populace. Let the states govern themselves. A decentralized populace with local control is a less controllable populace.

[muawiyah]

MJ is not in the same class as alcohol and tobacco. For one thing it's the price per pound that attracts the bad elements, and it does attract them. Plus, they know the stoners aren't able to put up much resistance and are easy to steal from.

Best part of this deal is that within 6 months there'll be many fewer dealers.

[utahson]

RON PAUL SUPPORTERS WILL NOW LOVE OBAMA. Maybe they will openly sing his praise on FR and FR can begin to purge them all.

[Ransomed]

But, but WOD=JOBS, right? This is a grave blow to the prison industry. We can only hope police sezuires in other areas can make up the difference.
