The state marijuana laws have resulted in a ``worsening of relations between federal, state and local law enforcement,'' Acting Assistant Attorney General Robert Diegelman wrote the review of the report.

Yup, the feds hate it when the states go out and do something on their own and the feds know they can't do anything about it.

The only problem with the law is the same with a lot of new laws. No set definitions. Ever since the Clinton era, we're too busy arguing over what IS is in the court room. Make the growers become registered and certified with the local county. There, now all the drug warriors will know who they can and cannot touch.

What you are saying is true,and there has been alot of cases of the feds overriding state laws and raiding providers.Massive federal raids took place in California resulting in patients having a hard time getting their medicine.Growers are supposed to be certified and registered,at least in my state.Do you think if this issue of federal repression of states rights to sanction medical use ever goes before the supreme court,and the court rules favoribly for some reason it could affect the whole issue of state laws vs. federal laws,not only on this issue,but every issue? I doubt it would happen,but it would be a real breakthrough for freedoms.
