Medical Cannabis / Marijuana declared to basically be legal in 14 states by Obama

[Focus]

It is now official, Obama is starting the steps towards full legalization. The administration today on Oct 19th, 2009 has brought forth an official decree stating the Federal Government will not be arresting of prosecuting medical marijuana users AND sellers in the 14 states that have medical marijuana laws enacted. This is really BIG news. As more states continue to legalize it will soon be nationwide. Many more states are expected to vote medical marijuana laws onto the books in 2010.

Report: New DOJ guidelines to back medical marijuana laws

The Obama administration is set to make a sharp turn from the Bush administration when it comes to state laws regarding medical marijuana usage, the Associated Press reported late Sunday.

The guidelines to be issued to federal prosecutors Monday will suggest that it’s not a good use of time to go after users and distributors of medical marijuana in the 14 states that allow such usage, while encouraging that illegal pot operations involving violence, firearms and sale to minors still be pursued.

Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington currently have state laws allowing at least limited use of marijuana for medical purposes. The AP reported that federal prosecutors in these states, as well as top officials at the FBI and DEA, would being receiving the three-page Justice Department memo outlining the new policy.

Under the George W. Bush administration, medical marijuana dispensaries were still targeted for violating federal law despite state laws allowing pot for medical use. Attorney General Eric Holder signaled a shift in this policy in March, stating that federal enforcement would concentrate on illegal marijuana operations that use medical pot allowances as a cover.

The move doesn’t come as a surprise, as Obama the candidate had expressed support for states that allowed medical marijuana.

“I would not have the Justice Department prosecuting and raiding medical marijuana users,” then-Sen. Barack Obama said on the campaign trail in New Hampshire.

Go Obama! Change for the better.

Heard this on the news last night.

Decriminalizing pot would go a long way of putting the drug lords out of business. Not completely, but if pot were legal to grow here in the states, we would not be having the border wars playing out in Juarez and other US-Mex border towns.

Ok, I'll give Obama a positive mark for this one. But I'm still hoping for some spare change.

No but my wife would benefit from it here in FL. She'll have to find a pill version since I am allergic to the smoke. :(

The Oakland airport now allows you to go thru the airport with a certain amount of weed and board the airplane. But the landing airport might not be so friendly
