that's what the holder memo did.
once he released the holder memo, dispensaries popped up like never before. now everyone is complaining that some are getting shut down. yet no one has ever shown me an arrest on a fully state compliant grower or dispensary. the most they have shown is that two state compliant people have had their stuff taken and not been arrested.
i promise everyone hear that we would not have seen the sudden opening of hundreds of new dispensaries under a mccain/palin administration.

lol.
so in july 2011, he says he wants to see more going into prevention than interdiction.
well, i have even newer footage than that of him calling the war on drugs a failure.
what's your point? you think romney is going to be a better pick?
LOL!
people from florida are some of the stupidest people i've met in the entire world.

He said he favors decriminalization. (2004)
He said he doesn't favor decriminalization. (2011)
Obama saying the exact opposite of what he said before he got elected.
Shocker.

you're deluded if you think ANY politician is going to spend political capital on potheads. that's why just about every single step forward we've achieved has come through ballot initiatives, not legislation at any level, state or federal.

did you miss where i have called obama an idiot for favoring decriminalization over re-legalization?
people sure have selective memories.

Wrong. The POTUS cannot selectively decide which laws are enforced and which are not, that would be an abuse of presidential power. We don't elect kings.
Wrong again. 77% of Americans support medical marijuana.

When Romney thought the interview was over the first thing he started to talk about was MMJ, I guess it really was an issue with him. He said that's a state issue. He is not stupid, he knows MMJ is a real major political issue but he is trying to appeal to the conservative who is anti weed. Gay marriage has small real numbers of people actually affected he can thrash them with little fear. But the MMJ crowed, a force to be reckoned with. The real numbers are huge.
Romney would have to be abnormally unaware (unfit to be president) of what was going on around him if he did not understand MMJ was a real issue. He is clearly knows it is, he is just pretending it is unimportant to appeal to his conservative click.

What country did Obama invade?
Yes Nixon created the DEA but it took Congress to FUND IT, see how that works? 100% Obama's fault? Just yesterday republicans killed a bill that would have prevented the DOJ from pursuing medical marijuana cases, seems you're not only sucking republican cock but you have a blindfold on while doing it.
Dumbest thing I've heard on here, congrats.

passed the house with 105 republicans voting against it and ZERO democrats voting against it.

Let me get this straight. Aye means against the bill. No means for the bill. 105 Republicans voted Aye, 0 Democrats voted Aye. Dana Rohrabacher voted Aye. Why would he vote against his own bill?

According to this article it failed from a majority of republicans voting against it.....
Pot industry supporters blast GOP states' rights arguments as selective, hypocritical
An amendment to the U.S. House Appropriations Bill that would have required the Department of Justice to stand down in pursuing cases against the medical marijuana industry failed Wednesday night on a mostly party line vote.

Not one dem voted in favor of it? The final vote was 163-262, with 72 percent of Democrats in favor of the amendment but only 28 Republicans voting yes. Goddamn I hope you're not pro-creating.
