US Attorney General Eric Holder: Ending Medical Marijuana Raids now US Policy
Speaking at a press conference on Feb 25 with DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart, and reiterating a position made by the White House following DEA raids in California on February 4, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters that ending federal raids on medical marijuana dispensaries “is now American policy.” The Attorney General’s comments are the latest sign of a sea change in federal policy that prohibits the use of medical cannabis in the thirteen states that have enacted such laws.

fuckin a. This is …
a. This is really getting rediculous tho. Power needs to be given back to the states and at the very least, Marijuana should be decriminalized. The only thing that hurts guys like me is drug testing for jobs. Ive never failed one, but thats because I had to quit. I only want enough marijuana for me. I have no plans to sell or grow it for anyone but myself. and here were talking abou a legal adult over 21 spending his money and smoking his marijuana in his house on his own time.

All lies!! He did …
All lies!! He did not address the specific question. Obama is as two faced as anyone in D.C.. The raids will continue, the campaign trail promises will be broken, and the miliions living in fear of their choice to smoke will still be criminals when Obama’s term is over. The fact that 300 videos sprang up with exuberant messages like “no more raids in u.s.” only means people hear, see, and conclude what they want to believe.

God Bless You Mr. Eric Holder and your family. I know that you have been appointed during a very difficult time. The Justice Department was tarnished thanks to Gonzales. I know the road will be long and hard. We wish you well! God Speed!

Is it more …
Is it more important to generate revenues via fines, seizures, etc. than to treat your otherwise law-abiding citizens with dignity? I sincerely hope not.
