As an Illinois state senator, Presidential candidate, and President, Barack Obama has made numerous statements in support of marijuana policy reform, and vowed not to waste Justice Department resources by going after medical marijuana dispensaries.
Obama had called using federal agents to go after patients and providers who are abiding by state laws in states where medical marijuana is legal "is not an efficient use of our resources."
So when Obama won the Presidential election in 2008, supporters had hoped that patients abiding by state laws could use marijuana for medical purposes without fear of government intrusion.
"What the President said during the campaign, you will be surprised to know, will be consistent with what we'll be doing here in law enforcement," Attorney General Eric Holder underlined after Obama's election. "What he said during the campaign is now American policy."
President Obama has said he understands that the Drug War has failed. He has said that he understands we need new marijuana laws. He has said he supports the use of medical marijuana for patients needing pain relief and, and he has assured us that they wouldn't be persecuted.
He has even admitted to smoking marijuana himself.
Yet under the Obama Administration, the raids continue -- in California, Montana, and Washington state -- and there is apparently no end in sight.
"As the saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself," said Rob Kampia, executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). "This means that the onus is on us to fight for fair laws, rather than waiting for politicians do deliver on false promises. Together, we can end marijuana prohibition."

I have absolutely no idea what your paranoid ravings are even about; I haven't "taken down" ANY comments here. Back away from the pipe.
no they confirmed it time and again, they will go after stores that are located within 1000 feet of schools or parks and the city i live in already shut down any within that zone and any within 1000 feet of churches because we love our freakin churches here i guess. but seriously i have spoken with more than a few store owners who are not worried about being shut down, stores and grow sites being approved by the local gov. is another story, I have seen a few stores shut down because the grow site wasn't approved. My favorite store has been walking around in limbo for a couple months while they wait for the CDPHE or whoever it is to inspect and approve. they sent out letters to people with stores near schools. but if the store owners would voluntarily move their operation they could probably stay in business, has also been the general consensus.
It seems like in Cali and everywhere else there are all these random laws that got pieced together and finally it opened up, but here it seems like they looked at everything that doesn't work in Cali ("non-profits" farmers openly selling to stores, etc) and figured out a way around the problems. colorado as a gov. sticks behind the stores 1000x more than California. But then again we just had our first big area do a local ban on dispensaries who have to close down soon so we will see, if they stayed open i could see them getting raided.
they create all sorts of hoops here to jump through, for the patient and the store owners, but if you jump exactly through it you are good to go. cali is going through some BS right now but look at the laws compared to CO and i can understand why it doesn't work out there. i think there should be a "colorado style" set of laws for cali's to vote on.
So it is ok as long as they don't go after you. Kinda what we said before WWII. Sooner or later they will get to Co. And then you will have already lost your other allies, and have to stand on your own.
what the hell, you take down the comments from your longtime readers complaining of the date adds that are on your comment page, and leave the fucking adds!!! i need an answer steve.
He literally changed his mind about EVERYTHING he said he was gonna do and represented. Why are we surprised that a liar tells lies?
unless there's dogs. like in australian outdoor concerts
When they come for you (which they eventually will) you'll look around and there won't be anyone left to defend you....
Remember members of the right wing painted him as some closet arab terrorist, a muslim, not born in the US, and so on. If he did anything but fight MJ, the right wing would no doubt also be calling him soft on drugs, a drug cartel gangster, and who knows what else.
Obama did deliver on many other campaign promises, at least to the extent he could while being hobbeled by the right wing of congress. I accept I may be wrong, but I dearly want to believe that if he gets his second and final term in office, he will feel free to decriminalize MJ.
Yes, I know Ron Paul supports decriminalization of MJ, but he has too many other political opponents with other priorities.
I only like poor women! And beautiful women are boring. They think they are better than everyone else. And I don't have any money for you anyway. If I met you, I would quit my job and be homeless just to spite you.! What does Michael Jackson and caviar have in common? They both come on little white crackers.
I only like to go out with poor women who don't have a job. That way, I can get them to give me a blow job for access to my EBT card. If you want to adopt a penis with a job, may I suggest a bathroom at an airport? I heard most of the men on airplanes have jobs and money.
I am a 27 years old doctor,mature and beautiful. and now i am seeking a good man who can give me real love, so i got a sername Andromeda2002 on Agedate.СòM, a nice and free place for younger women and older men,or older women and younger men, to interact with each other.Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.
So why did he reverse himself? Has he or the Feds said anything about why?
Don't forget your Lock Flops Flip Flops. Hide your weed in your shoes! http://www.facebook.com/lockflops These are especially great at concerts!
Life is lonely and sometimes even boring. You may need a fresh thing to excite your mind.
My best friend ,she met a good man and they love each other
!they date via online dating --- ---'Millionaire'Social...℃0M------------
it's the most effective--- site in the world to connect with, date and marry--- successful, beautiful people.-
Meanwhile, . It's--- worthy a try. You do not have to be rich or famous. !
I forgot to add that voting for Dr. Courtney is one way to say fuck you to this current administration. He will not accept corporate money for his campaign so it's unlikey he'll pull an Obama once in office.
Not everybody gets to vote for a Medical Marijuana physician for congress, but I'm learning about the candidacy of Dr. William Courtney running for the new 2nd Congressional District and hope that readers do the same.
I'm not a part of Dr. Courtney's campaign in any way, but I'd like to see his name get out there in the Cannabis Community to see if we can throw some support his way.
For those interested in cannabis as medicine and more about Dr. Courtney, check out his website called "Cannabis International Foundation - A resource for the dietary and medicinal study and use of cannabis."
I am a obama suporter so your all smoked
Coming soon to Colorado! the letters just went out. Have fun eating crow!
if he is such a bad guy why isn't he raiding in colorado? because colorado state laws make some sort of sense in all the different aspects. in california its places where voters said they didn't want it in their city, just like in fort collins, the biggest city in colorado to ban dispensaries. now if those stores in fort collins stayed open i would expect them to get raided too and by who else but the feds because local people are all too busy, not enough funding. is it really obama? no or the stores in colorado would be closed, they never even got letters because the district attorneys here didn't want to prosecute something they worked so hard on to create laws for. we need a reason to hate obama and anyone who didn't already now has one. but my question is would you rather just trade him for bush when it was 100% underground instead of how it is now?
Obama; a hypocrite, as well as an enemy of cannabis.
This video was useless. A bunch of clippings with no citation, and a useless commentary at the end.
RP 2012!
Obama is not for the legalization of cannabis. When I interrogated the city council about a local cannabis raid- they said the federal government NEVER asks local law enforcement if a collective or a dispensary is operating to help medical patients. Obama's letters about cannabis are all propaganda. Look at what we got when we pushed through all of those petitions to legalize? A letter from the Drug CZAR! Obama has asked for more money for the drug war than GWBII asked for! And he has arrested more people, has more people in prison, and now he has signed the NDAA and NOBODY wants to talk about what it means to be a terrorist... does that mean the drug war too? The war that the media is silent about? The war that never graces the screens of televisions across America.
I have a feeling Obama and Michelle fire up a big fat one on a regular basis lol.

I know it's easy to say now, but i NEVER believed the 'hype' about
obama. I even got kicked out of an obama registration house before the
election for expressing my 'opinion' about what a scam he will turn out
to be.
A career politician from Chicago?! Didn't everyone see he was a
giant liar pulling wool over the sheep's eyes?!! Plus he had NO
experience or qualifications to be pres.
I like how here in Hawaii everyone was soooo excited about him (democratic state) just because he lived here for awhile.
I know he aint no Island boy. Just cuz your born in da islands, don't mean you got 'aloha'.
He needs to start acting 'pono'.
