And another piece of good news...the feds released this today. here is an article in the new york times.
WASHINGTON People who use
marijuana for medical purposes and those who distribute it should not face federal prosecution, provided they act according to state law, the Justice Department said on Monday in a directive with political and legal implications.
In a memorandum to federal prosecutors in the 14 states that allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes, the department said it was committed to the efficient and rational use of its resources and that going after individuals who were in clear and unambiguous compliance with state laws did not meet that standard.
At the same time, the department emphasized that it would continue to pursue those who use the concept of medical marijuana as a ruse for drug trafficking. Marijuana distribution in the United States remains the single largest source of revenue for the Mexican cartels, the department said in pledging that prosecuting the makers and sellers of illegal drugs, including marijuana, would remain a core priority.
The Justice Department policy statement, foreshadowed since shortly after
President Obama took office, was laid out on Monday in an announcement by Attorney General
Eric H. Holder Jr., who made public
a memo from David W. Ogden, the deputy attorney general, to the
United States attorneys in the affected states, most notably California.
The announcement formalizes the Obama administrations departure from the policies of former President
George W. Bush, under whose administration federal agents raided medical marijuana distributors that violated federal statutes, even if the distributors appeared to be complying with state laws.
Advocates of medical marijuana say the substance can reduce chronic pain, nausea and other ailments associated with cancer and other serious illnesses. In 1996, California became the first state to make it legal to sell marijuana to people with doctors prescriptions. The other states that allow some use of marijuana for medical purposes are Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
This is a major step forward, said Bruce Mirken, communications director for the
Marijuana Policy Project, which supports legalizing the substance. This change in policy moves the federal government dramatically toward respecting scientific and practical reality.
The Justice Department indicated that the memo should not be interpreted as legalizing marijuana. Rather, this memorandum is intended solely as a guide to the exercise of investigative and prosecutorial discretion, the department said.
But there will inevitably be clashes, in political arenas and in courtrooms, over what constitutes clear and unambiguous compliance with state laws, and whether marijuana distributors ostensibly in business to provide the substance for medical use are being infiltrated by drug cartels.
