Such persons who are in the business of cultivating, selling distributing are in violation of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) ...Should I have expected anything else from our president? As usual the Obama administration chooses the most politically expedient position it can find. And I really don't know what I was thinking or feeling in the last few weeks when I actually thought that the Department of Justice would actually clarify its polices in such a way to help Americans get safe access to medical cannabis.
This new position was supposed to provide some guidance and assistance to patients and those who are in the business of providing medical cannabis. Instead we get a new memo that says that the prosecution of truly sick patients is not a priority but at the same time says those that provide the medicine for the truly sick are still subject to prosecution.
What's left is for Congress to pass real Marijuana legislation that ends federal prohibition of medical marijuana. In fact and what has been reported by NORML and Toke of The Town, HR 2306 The Ending Federal Prohibition Marijuana Act of 2011 is now pending in Congress.
Whatever happened to states rights?? Stay Tuned...
