This does not trump federal law, but the Obama administration has said it is not interested in prosecuting state-licensed dispensaries or those who use the drug as prescribed by a doctor.

Feds won't give assurance on medical pot

The U.S. Justice Department says that marijuana dispensaries and licensed growers in states with medical marijuana laws could face prosecution for violating federal drug and money-laundering laws... Deputy Attorney General James Cole said a 2009 memo by then-Deputy Attorney General David Ogden did not give states cover from prosecution.

0bama was against busting pot shops before he was for busting pot shops.

“This does not trump federal law, but the Obama administration has said it is not interested in prosecuting state-licensed dispensaries or those who use the drug as prescribed by a doctor. “

Yep. That’s the only reason this travesty is occurring in Colorado. The medical marijuana law was on the books for months in Colorado and nothing was happening until Obama announced he wouldn’t enforce the Federal laws. And that’s when the pot shops in Colorado exploded. Because no one had to fear Federal prosecution any longer.

Thanks a lot Obama. I thought you swore to uphold the Federal laws. I guess you lied when you took that oath, like you’ve lied about everything else, probably including where you were actually born.

Hundreds of thousands of people now flaunt Federal law in Colorado with impunity. It’s pretty evident that laws mean nothing any more in this country. It’s just one of the many ways Obama has gone about in deliberately destroying the United States: changing a nation based on law into a nation of lawbreakers.
