Congress also squeezed in something that's been floating around since last May: an amendment to the Department of Justice's budget that strips funding used to interfere with state-legal marijuana away from the DOJ and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Last May, Southern California's Rep. Dana Rohrabacher and Rep. Sam Farr of Carmel co-authored an amendment that would remove from the DOJ's budget money used to "interfere" with state-legal medical marijuana programs. The amendment sailed through Congress but then went nowhere. It had sponsors in the Senate — including Sen. Corey Booker of New Jersey — but was never introduced because it did not have the votes.

So the Senate passed this the same way it passed a rollback on campaign finance reform and legislation probably authored by Citibank: slapped the controversial language into the CRomnibus. Advocates for marijuana reform hailed the passage as a major victory in Washington for weed.

Maybe Obama will restart the ban on cannabis via executive order.

if it's true..the fight is over pretty much except for remaining states.

typical obama move, works behind the scenes and doesn't take credit.

Bite your tongue. That is no way for a progressive to talk.

Laws and regulations are a good thing, we can never have too many. We can't have people doing what they want.

Death by firing squad for all who sell loosies. For the children!

That's fine for states that have legal medical marijuana.....does nothing for other states that still feel all pot is illegal.

The biggest thing they can do in Washington is drop it from the schedule 1 list....THAT would be a game-changer.

From Zerohedge:

Believe it or not, Citigroup announced on Friday that it would move its headquarters from New York to the actual U.S. Capitol Building, in Washington, D.C., in early 2015.

Citi outbid JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs to lease thirty thousand square feet of prime real estate on the floor of the House of Representatives
