I would say that is more of a DEA backed charge in cooperation with local authority, than it is an Obama agenda. Remember, it still is a Federal crime. I think its less that Obama is back peddling and more that he is spineless and is trying to stay clear of controversy in favor of being reelected in 2012. I say good. And in his second term get on his ass about it.. at which point he has the driving force to do so. Think of this turning into a controversy, and he not get reelected, and some neo-con Republican gets elected. Do you think MMJ has a better chance of survival then? I think not. Good day sir.
