[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1243517"]Not sure I agree with this reasoning. National polls have legalization at 50/50, and in this election cycle where progressives and libertarians seem to have the loudest voices at the moment (not the fundies or neocons for once), there's a lot more to gain by being pro than against weed especially with the demographics Obama needs to win, so it's a political loser to toughen up on it at the very moment where every political analyst has noted Obama has spent the last month appealing to and shoring up his progressive base. It makes me agree with ark that this is an independent move by an agency, not political operatives grinning and twittling their fingers in some back room in the White House, because if they are they suck and should be fired for incompetence. BUT... the fact remains that this is a good reason to call and e-mail the WH and complain about this, because those agencies are under their jurisdiction, and when things like this are brought to Obama's attention he often does something about them. Despite what has been said in this thread, even the article quoted notes he has been over his term really good on this issue, specifically with an order he personally made to the Justice Department when he came into office: (From Marijuana USA, Trish Regan, CNBC) "In 2009, President Obama directed the U.S. Department of Justice to defer to state law regarding medical marijuana. This single memo turned seventy years of prohibition on its head. It advised US Attorneys in medical marijuana states to not go after individuals who are in compliance with state laws... Suddenly, people applied for medical marijuana licenses in droves. The number of dispensaries jumped from about a dozen to more than a thousand across the state of Colorado, outnumbering Starbucks 5 to 1." Best President on the issue there's been by far, but he needs to make sure agencies continue to comply with his order. [/QUOTE]
