Feds end pursuit of Ore. medical pot smokers, growers

[Wild Cobra]

obama gets a thumbs up on this one.

I think he finally is doing something I agree with.

This is rare, I don't expect that to happen very much. Maybe just once a year?

The headline should read "Fed ends violation of Cons ution".

LOL...

Then they would have to stop other violations if the people really started noticing that.

but there are kids as young as 10-11-12 smoking marijuana really gets me pissed..

Take the black market out, and it will be harder for them to get it if anything.

There's been for years an epidemic of ADD diagnosis, not of ADD. Drug the kid, doc makes $$ from the prescription, and teacher/parents don't have to spend time with the kid or look for other causes. "Pop a pill" solves everything, the BigPharma myth and indoctrination working beautifully.

Ritalin is not the only psycho-active drug prescribed to young children.

Yes, a little weed helps with my ADHD.

Uh, they actually do comply. You need a license to grow, and there is a limit of like 24-25 plants. You need a license to sell. You must buy only from licensed growers. If it's a "huge field", it's not legal, and quite obvious.

Oh yeah go see how often " local law enforcment "did major busts in humboldt county. It's their only tax base.

The whole war on marijuana is an issue I'm so cynical about that I almost don't even care about news relating to it, good or bad.

That said, I laugh and laugh and laugh when I think about all the over-zealous pieces of who work for the DEA, who were pissed off all day (and will remain so) because Obama told them they had to do actual work.

So yeah, score one for the good guys... but it's not enough to win, someone else has to lose. I'm glad its the DEA that's losing.

Your humor from the situation stems from complete ignorance in your understanding of the DEA.

[balli]

Ignorance.

Whatever. the DEA. You too. They want my respect, they can do their ing jobs and quit meddling in policy. I'm glad Obama's forcing the issue.

And you really have no idea whatsoever what I know or don't know about the DEA. All you know is that I don't like said agency. In your narrow mind that's incompatible with knowledge about it. Which I may, or may not have, but either way, your argument sucks. Empty Man is right.

[EmptyMan]

They don't want your respect.

[balli]

They don't want your respect.

Then don't call my perceived lack of it 'ignorant'. Respect, understanding, empathy, whatever you want to call it, don't be a about the semantics.

And don't be the jackass that tells me to shape up my opinion, right before being the wanna-be militant hardass who tell me the DEA doesn't want my respect. ing lol at that.

[clambake]

they must want some respect........or they wouldn't be ing.
