“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.
I think you missed the part where he, through a surrogate at the DoJ, went back on that promise. The dispensaries are nervous and the illegals are ready to come back and fill the vacuum when the Feds get cracking again.
Do you believe that is in keeping with the original Commerce Clause and Tenth Amendment?
Thank god there are people who stand up for the true conservative principle of supporting federal law over state law.
