It’s a good day to be a stoner, that is if you live in one of the 14 states that allows the wacky tabacky to be prescribed for medical reasons.
On Monday the Obama administration issued new guidelines for arresting those who are both legally selling and buying the drug.
Is this how the Nobel Peace Prize winner is using his new found status, by lighting up a peace pipe???
The new policy tells prosecutors to stop wasting their time going after those in compliance with the state law, specifically those providing or using medical marijuana.
We agree.
They can use their time to go after boys trapped in balloons. That’s a much better use of tax payer money.
The 3 page long memo urges the prosecutors in the 14 states allowing medical marijuana and to top officials at the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration to go after marijuana cases that involve violence, the illegal use of firearms, selling pot to minors, money laundering or involvement in other crimes.
While the DEA and FBI may be upset about the new policy, medical marijuana advocates are excited that the Prez has kept his word on changing the policy.
Bruce Mirken of the Marijuana Policy Project says the change “moves the federal government dramatically toward respecting scientific and practical reality.”
Could this be a step to legalize weed???
We’re sure policy makers will fight that to the death, but in the meantime roll up a fat one and pass it around!
