Drug Enforcement Agency Will Stop Raiding Legal Marijuana
It sounds like a joke, but it's not. Attorney General Eric Holder said that the the Drug Enforcement Administration will stop raiding state-approved marijuana dispensaries.
In other words, the DEA will start recognizing the law.
Maybe the days of George W. "We Are Right And Everyone Else Is Wrong Including America" Bush and Karl "You're a Good Puppet George W. Here's a Baseball Card" Rove are finally over. Could we be entering a new era where the federal government respects the law, the constitution, and American citizens?
Let's hope so.

The day the federal government started recognizing the law is the day Dubya stepped out and Obama stepped in.

Now the government can focus on doing different illegal activities.

The states should change what they do, not the federal government! Marijuana is a gateway drug. Start with pot and it's a gateway to other, harder drugs. There is no medical condition that something other than marijuana can't treat.

Kids shouldn't do drugs, they should work for ppl like Christian Andy in Summer Holidays and buy their girlfriends a new blouse.

They should make alcohol illegal. I'm sure that would stop people from using it.

The day the government follows the law is the day hell freezes over. In 2012.

The law should have been recognized since its enforcement.In my opinion, even if there is so much pressure on this matter, marijuana should only be legalized for medical purposes. And even this would be hard to do, and the legal frame should be very well thought in order to avoid any abuse.

For anyone reading this who is not knowledgeable with AA, I simply want to tell every last group has its individual "personality" and draws in unique types of individuals. The early a.m. meeting that I go to has, predictably, generally people who are professional working people who wish to initiate the day on a positive mark.
