Feds issue new medical marijuana policy

Medical marijuana patients and their sanctioned suppliers will not be targeted for federal prosecution in states where medical marijuana is legal, under a new policy memo issued Monday by the Justice Department.

thank you obama! we love you!

[bch]

kudos to obama and the doj!:)

free cannabis!!

[Freedom Fighter]

This fight for rational implementation of Prop 215 now must target the local politicians and law enforcement agencies so the will of the California voters will be adhered to.

Vote all MMJ prohibitionists out of office! Whether they be a local or state politicians.

Freedom is not free! Legalize Freedom!

[WATCHING]

I see they took down yesterday's article about the LA County DA wanting to shut down all medical marijuana shops via law enforcement raids!

I cant believe any politician in CA would want to do away with a tax revenue stream like medical mj considering the States' financial situation right now.

I like to remain optimistic so perhaps with federal support now, they'll quit targeting peaceful enterprises.

I hate to break this to you Mr. Chabot, but it IS an acceptable thing to do. It is legal.
I know as a Rebublibut, you think you know better than everyone, and that you can ignore the laws you don't like, but it is the law. Deal with it.
We all know that you are going to use medical marijuana as the basis for your run at political office. But we are all going to fight you at every turn. We are going to make sure your stand against medical marijuana bites you big time on your Republibut.

[Are people nuts]

Listen to you psuedo-nazis worshiping Mau-Bama like he's some kind of god, you are pathetic. Is that what we have become, a nation of dependents? You may rip on Neocon Christians and think you are better, but who gace you the empire you live in today? We did. Who is throwing it all away? You are.

The youth of this nation are some of the most pathetic humans I've ever seen. You liberals young-tards even elect a president that is not an American citizen and never served this country! Just like draft-dodger Clinton. Pathetic.

Go smoke your weed, drown your sorrows in the fact you know you cant and wont acehive 1/2 of what your parents and grandparents ever did in this country.

It's time for American Revolution II, and for us folks full of wisdom to kick all of your young ass

thumbs up to obamba, thumbs down to rogue cops and PAUL CHABOT."Our biggest concern is that it sends mixed messages, especially to youth and communities that marijuana should be an acceptable thing to do."
it is acceptable to do. id rather see a kid with a joint in hand than a brew. keep trying to demonize pot, we are an educated public, we know the devil when we see him. and he is not smoking pot. its all rhetoric, bring some facts to the table.

Oh yeah, like Bush was a great warrior in the Texas Air National Guard? Dream on. And if we don't accomplish half of what your generation did, it will be because of self centered jerks like you.
You want another revolution? Bring it on. We got something special in mind for old dried up worthless loud mouthed bums like you and yours.
It's called the truth. Something you are not very well acquainted with Mr. Nixon, McCarthy, Reagan, Bush, Cheney. Now you know why the conservatives lost so badly.
But I bet you get a small chubby from talking so tough eh?
Too bad you and yours are a minority, and threats of violence only work on the meek, like yourself.

Vote 'Yes' for marijuana legalization in 2010! Don't listen to prohibitionist propaganda and fear mongering!

Marijuana is SAFER than alcohol and cigarettes. Marijuana can not kill you. It does NOT cause cancer or psychosis. It does NOT destroy your motivation or work ethic.

Now is the time to stop arresting responsible adults for possession of a harmless plant. It is our civil right to smoke cannabis instead of drink alcohol. Marijuana is the safer choice. It will not wreck your life.

End marijuana prohibition now!

[John Keenan]

Chabot the guy that invited us to his meeting in a public place and realized we were marijuana med advocates so he called the cops and said one of us pushed him to get into the meeting. It went to trial and he LOST. What a phony.

Correction:

Babyboomers inherited the world and sold it to the highest bidder. THey kept their high wages and retirement healtcaree and screwed all the entry level workers and those that came after them by signing contracts that made that happen. You gave us a world with:

Pollution
Climate Change
Racism
Low-wage jobs
Outsourcing
Wal-Mart
HUGE DEBT
and George W. Bush

If Mr. Chabot would leave it at not "acceptable" instead of illegal, all the other social disruptions and the ever increasing tax burden, which have occurred from criminalization, would not have happened.
