Enter Sanity? One can only hope...
I am excited to see a shift in this policy. Hopefully we can use this as a stepping point to use State's Rights to get a better policy at the Federal level. Thank god we made it to the next generation...

Washington Times - DEA continues pot raids Obama opposes:
"Dogged by marijuana advocates throughout the campaign, Mr. Obama repeatedly said he was opposed to using the federal government to raid medical marijuana shops, particularly because it was an infringement on states' decisions.
“I'm not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue,' Mr. Obama told the Mail Tribune newspaper in Oregon in March, during the Democratic primary campaign.
He told the newspaper the 'basic concept of using medical marijuana for the same purposes and with the same controls as other drugs prescribed by doctors, I think that's entirely appropriate.'"
