Justice Dep’t Will Not Bust Medical Marijuana Clinics ~ Washington, D.C.
In statements made yesterday and last week, Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured) has confirmed that from now on, the Federal Government will not raid medical marijuana clinics or dispensaries in California or other states.
Since 1996 when California legalized medical marijuana, businesses providing services to patients have been under constant threat of raids from the Feds. These raids sometimes ended in jail time, but always involved confiscation of medicine, cash, and goods. Often it meant partial or total closure of the dispensary or clinic.
Today is actually a momentous day for patients and caregivers who can live without fear… at least for now.

Hey, that’s change, alright. Mock the phrase all you want. I have a relative who relies on medical pot use for extreme back pain. I’m not kidding when I say that he’s been a different person since Holder made this announcement. Just looks more at peace with himself. The marijuana (and yoga) helps his pain more than anything and he’s always lived in fear that he’d be at his medical marijuana place at the time it got raided. Nothing fucks with your head like knowing the FBI will kick your door down any second. Obama’s already giving me reasons to be proud of this country. Yeh, I said it. Don’t believe in blind patriotism. America is a body of people and a government, and I criticize it when they do bad and praise it when they do good. At this day and time? Good job, America. Now we need to look into overall drug legalization. It might be the only thing that ends this mess at the Texas border. God knows we tried stiffer law enforcement. Now let’s take the law out of it, and kill it’s value in the underground market. Cartels are out of business, like that. I know that’s wishful thinking but we’re heading in the right direction. We may finally have a government that takes a realistic look a the grossly failed war on drugs. Good day.

Obama’s the man!
Glad to hear that change is really coming to America. I hear SF (Tom Amiano) is considering a bill to legalize for all purposes. That’s change I can believe in. At this rate, I’ll be happy to move back from Oz one of these days…
