This is for all my friends who think I am always critical of Mr. Obama and can’t give him credit for doing something right.
U.S. eases prosecutions on medical marijuana
The Obama administration told federal authorities yesterday not to arrest or prosecute medical-marijuana users and suppliers, paving the way for some states to move forward with plans to create officially sanctioned dispensaries to provide the drug as relief for a series of maladies.
It’s one step toward ending the insane “War on Drugs.” A baby step for sure, but the federal government shouldn’t get in the way between doctors and patients. If somebody is terminally ill and a joint is the only thing that eases their pain and nausea, then they should be allowed to light up.
