that's what the holder memo did.

once he released the holder memo, dispensaries popped up like never before. now everyone is complaining that some are getting shut down. yet no one has ever shown me an arrest on a fully state compliant grower or dispensary. the most they have shown is that two state compliant people have had their stuff taken and not been arrested.

i promise everyone hear that we would not have seen the sudden opening of hundreds of new dispensaries under a mccain/palin administration.

lol.

so in july 2011, he says he wants to see more going into prevention than interdiction.

well, i have even newer footage than that of him calling the war on drugs a failure.

what's your point? you think romney is going to be a better pick?

LOL!

people from florida are some of the stupidest people i've met in the entire world.

He said he favors decriminalization. (2004)
He said he doesn't favor decriminalization. (2011)

Obama saying the exact opposite of what he said before he got elected.

Shocker. bongsmilie

did you miss where i have called obama an idiot for favoring decriminalization over re-legalization?

people sure have selective memories.

In what fairy tale land is the President of the United States NOT directly responsible for all law enforcement activities that go on in his administration?

Of course Obama doesn't "micromanage" the DEA, but he most definitely DOES "macro-manage" it. . .that's his *JOB*.

All the President has to do to stop all DEA-sponsored raids on State-legal medical marijuana dispensaries or other facilities is to say to the DEA head "You will not conduct raids on State-legal MMJ facilities while I'm in office".

Maybe doing that requires some political courage, but its not exactly a complicated act.

And in fact, that *WAS* administration policy for at least the first 2-3 years of Obama's tenure in office. Exactly why the POTUS has reversed himself on this issue is unclear to me, but it certainly *IS* clear that he has.

Wrong. The POTUS cannot selectively decide which laws are enforced and which are not, that would be an abuse of presidential power. We don't elect kings.


Jogro said:
On Romney, pretty clearly he's not going to expend any political capital DEFENDING medical marijuana.

The real question is, to what extent is he going to spend political capital PROSECUTING it?

Even though his stated position is that he's against it (as is, by the way, most of the American voting public, at least right now)

Wrong again. 77% of Americans support medical marijuana.

When Romney thought the interview was over the first thing he started to talk about was MMJ, I guess it really was an issue with him. He said that's a state issue. He is not stupid, he knows MMJ is a real major political issue but he is trying to appeal to the conservative who is anti weed. Gay marriage has small real numbers of people actually affected he can thrash them with little fear. But the MMJ crowed, a force to be reckoned with. The real numbers are huge.

Romney would have to be abnormally unaware (unfit to be president) of what was going on around him if he did not understand MMJ was a real issue. He is clearly knows it is, he is just pretending it is unimportant to appeal to his conservative click.

What country did Obama invade?

Also Nixon issued one executive order and made the DEA. So the DEA is one executive order away from elimination. Stop sucking Obama cock like Bucky and giving excuses. Last time it was 100% Bush's fault, now it s Obama's.

Yes Nixon created the DEA but it took Congress to FUND IT, see how that works? 100% Obama's fault? Just yesterday republicans killed a bill that would have prevented the DOJ from pursuing medical marijuana cases, seems you're not only sucking republican cock but you have a blindfold on while doing it.


Canna Sylvan said:
Obama could also just pardon anyone in prison right now for marijuana alone. He could also stall everything in congress by saying he won't do shit, like usual, until a bill legalizing both gay marriage and marijuana.

Dumbest thing I've heard on here, congrats.

passed the house with 105 republicans voting against it and ZERO democrats voting against it.

Let me get this straight. Aye means against the bill. No means for the bill. 105 Republicans voted Aye, 0 Democrats voted Aye. Dana Rohrabacher voted Aye. Why would he vote against his own bill?
 
now i'm confused, it said it passed the house...

According to this article it failed from a majority of republicans voting against it.....


Pot industry supporters blast GOP states' rights arguments as selective, hypocritical

An amendment to the U.S. House Appropriations Bill that would have required the Department of Justice to stand down in pursuing cases against the medical marijuana industry failed Wednesday night on a mostly party line vote.

But not ONE Democrat voted Aye. If the same percent of Democrats voted in favor, it would've passed. Do I need to repeat myself?

NOT ONE FUCKING DEMOCRAT VOTED IN FAVOR OF THIS BILL BECAUSE THEY'RE STUPID BITCHES WHO DON'T WANT TO BE ACCUSED OF SUCKING REPUBLICAN COCK, LIKE YOU ACCUSED ME!

Does that register with your micro-brain that's smaller than your mico-penis? But it was all Republicans fault!!!!!!

Not one dem voted in favor of it? The final vote was 163-262, with 72 percent of Democrats in favor of the amendment but only 28 Republicans voting yes. Goddamn I hope you're not pro-creating.
