Attorney General Holder - No More DEA persecution of state-legal MMJ

[barman]

Speaking at a press conference with DEA
administrator Michelle Leonhart, Attorney General
Eric Holder declared that ending medical
marijuana raids "is now American policy."

A reporter asked, "shortly after the
inauguration there were raids on California
medical marijuana dispensaries...do you expect
these to continue?", noting that the President
had promised to end the raids in the campaign.


Holder responded, "What the President said
during the campaign...is consistent with what we
will be doing here in law enforcement. He was my
boss in the campaign....He is my boss now. What
he said in the campaign is now American policy."

The question appears about 25 minutes into the
press conference, which was devoted to an
operation against the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel.

No complaints.

I have a lot of friends and colleagues in CA and OR who have suffered from the DEA attacks on their property.

And since I myself can legally use cannabis in CA, I'm glad to know that on my next trip out there will be less concern that my state-legal providers have trouble delivering.

I have a funny feeling in my right toe time for script.

I would guess that this is a worrisome condition for some south of the border entrepreneurs.

 

[barman]

To a modest degree, perhaps.

But it's fair to say that even with the DEA attacks, 99% of California legal MMJ growers were rocking along and singing a song.

There's at least 4 to 5 million California residents who don't have a legal recommend for MMJ who are still ardent cannabis consumers and many of them are supplied by Mexican growers and cartels

Lemme know when you out around these parts man!

The most sensible thing done by this administration to date.

this may now lead to a legalization of weed, a taxing of weed, and then a subsequent drop of marajuana offenders in cali jails, thus saving the state (along with collection of tax revenue) billions
