it would appear so, but its the infringing upon states rights that yall are over looking. bush didnt support medical marijuana but he did support states rights

Although aides said circa October 1999 Mr. Bush does not support legalizing marijuana for medical use, he was quoted in the Dallas Morning News on 10-20-99 as supporting states' rights to decide whether to allow medical use of marijuana: "I believe each state can choose that decision [regarding medical marijuana] as they so choose."

medicalmarijuana.procon.org always site your sources

but you got the guy yall voted for tells the states he doesnt care about their rights

How many people has the DEA gone after in states that are legal that are growing for their own use?

Obama never changed the message

You just didnt listen

President Obama clarified his position on medical marijuana in an interview with Rolling Stone, telling publisher Jann Wenner that he can't "nullify congressional law."
"What I specifically said was that we were not going to prioritize prosecutions of persons who are using medical marijuana. I never made a commitment that somehow we were going to give carte blanche to large-scale producers and operators of marijuana – and the reason is, because it's against federal law. I can't nullify congressional law," Obama said.
"I can't ask the Justice Department to say, 'Ignore completely a federal law that's on the books.' What I can say is, 'Use your prosecutorial discretion and properly prioritize your resources to go after things that are really doing folks damage.' As a consequence, there haven't been prosecutions of users of marijuana for medical purposes," Obama said.
Obama also said in a late night TV appearance Tuesday on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, that he didn't expect Congress to change that law: "We're not going to be legalizating weed … anytime soon."

And why would Congress listen to 52% of the population?

Theyre like the honey-badger, they don' give a fuck.

I'd think they're being raided by the feds and not the state boys for the simple fact that marijuana in any form is against federal laws and legal on the state level in Washington , so of course it's the feds up holding federal law and not state police because they're not breaking any Washington state laws..

Very good point and where have you been? I've not perused your wisdom, lately. :)

It is a fine line in self rule, like this. A Compassionate State or a State of Revolution? It's the damn hippies again.

I was in on this the 60s and the sexuality was un-believable. Free Sex. Legendary. The Summer of Love. Then, at the same time and for the same reasons, it will always be, the non-heirarchy of the, hippies, chicks and freeky-deeks (me), was Infiltrated by Communism, Commericalism, and Rip-off of ourselves., Our sense of tribe was sold down the river along with our National Pride, etc. The Chicks got married to the Suits....WTF?

Please don't think the Closet Commies won't ruin this for us, again. It was fun in the 70s. Then back to morality. Maybe we are already swinging back and it will be another 100 years before any Compassion again.

Or, possibly, if we did a study, we might the O'team is whooping up on the Dispensary's that are the Havens. You know what I mean. Havens for Radicals. I am being real, my friends.

In my day, it was the Head Shop. OMG. Hanging around was oppressed by the Pigs, man.

Before that is was the Book Stores.

Before that Beer Halls.

Before that was the Opium....what is the difference between a House and a den...?

A House is not a Haven for Radicals. See? :)

Almost all I've learned is the opposite of the common wisdom, the opposite of what, "they say."

VOTE NO on stupidity. VOTE yes on Compassion.

He can marginalise any congressional law he wants to via NSD, PF or executive order. Unless you haven't noticed, the executive is accountable to no one.
