U.S. Drug Czar: Federal Prosecutors Will Go After Washington And Colorado Marijuana Distributors
Q: In the November elections, two states—Washington and Colorado—voted to legalize marijuana for recreational use. President Obama has said that the U.S. government has “bigger fish to fry” than to go after recreational users in states where it is legal. Where do things stand with regard to producers and distributors of marijuana, which is still illegal under federal law?
A: You’ll continue to see enforcement against distributors and large-scale growers as the Justice Department has outlined. They will use their limited resources on those groups and not on going after individual users.
The threat of not only shutdown, but harsh federal mandatory minimum jail sentences of ten years just for marijuana distribution — and as high as 85 years if other associated charges are lobbed on – would no doubt have a chilling effect on the recreational marijuana industry, and thwart state efforts to experiment with new approaches to achieving public health and safety goals in the wake of the failed War on Drugs. It remains to be seen, however, whether federal agents would make significant use of their prosecutorial discretion, or merely retain the right to prosecute in very limited cir stances.

Americans Overwhelmingly Want Feds to Let States Move Forward With Marijuana Legalization
Regular Americans overwhelmingly see marijuana legalization as a states’ rights issue and do not want the federal government to interfere with the will of the electorate in either state.
A new Reason-Rupe Public Opinion poll found a majority of Americans do not want federal resources used to inhibit any aspects of the new legal marijuana system in these two states. The poll found 72 percent don’t want the federal government to arrest
people for using marijuana in these states, while only 24 percent want federal law enforcement deployment.
Similarly, the poll found 68 percent don’t want the feds arresting people for growing marijuana and 64 percent don’t even want the feds to arrest people for selling marijuana. As long as individual are following state law they should be left alone.

Come on, Barry, you old toker, DO IT.
Drop mj from Schedule I to Schedule V, if not fully decriminalized.
Obama is making America so Marxist as I see it.
Thanks. Like 1984 so eloquently relates, perhaps one day we will all be safe from thoughtcrime thanks to Newspeak.
Who doesn't hate evil terrorists? And really, couldn't anyone be a terrorist?
