October 19, 200916 yr Finally. Pot-smoking patients or their sanctioned suppliers should not be targeted for federal prosecution in states that allow medical marijuana, prosecutors were told Monday in a new policy memo issued by the Justice Department. Under the policy spelled out in a three-page legal memo, federal prosecutors are being told it is not a good use of their time to arrest people who use or provide medical marijuana in strict compliance with state law. This is awesome for two reasons. 1. Not allowing the consumption of marijuana by adults is outdated, expensive, and pointless. 2. This keeps the Feds from intervening in state laws, somthing they shouldn't be doing anyways.

October 19, 200916 yr I agree. If the states are stupid enough to allow it, don't waste federal tax payer dollars prosectuting it.
October 19, 200916 yr Hey! Was that aimed at me? :lol: You and common sense? Nah, I am thinking he DEFINITELY wasn't talking about you.
October 19, 200916 yr The only people I know that smoke dope are high schoolers who do little work and many that drop out are dopers. The only people who smoke dope are lazy welfare bums and very poor parents. The only people that I know that smoke dope are a blight on society. The benefit of medical dope is overblown hype.

The benefit of medical dope is overblown hype. :lol: :lol: I know engineers, doctors, and lawyers who all get high. That's a stereotype and a dumb one at that.

The only people who smoke dope are lazy welfare bums and very poor parents. The only people that I know that smoke dope are a blight on society. The benefit of medical dope is overblown hype. The folks that use it recreationally may indeed be like that but what of those that use Percocet, Dilaudid, Morphine and Fentanyl recreationally? Ah, they are just the same! Using any kind of narcotic when there is physical reason to be using it will generally result in the same type of effects. As long as it requires a prescription by a Doctor and is treated as any other Schedule II narcotic then I have no issue with it being available. Of course the synthetic THC is only a Schedule III drug, nowhere near as heavily restricted as the ones I mentioned up top.

All of the people I know that smoke dope have good jobs and make good money. I guess it's who you know.
October 20, 200916 yr Call me crazy but I have this pet peeve about the rule of law. If it's against the law, then the law should be enforced. If you don't think you should be against the law then get the law changed. If you can't get the law changed then too bad. Also, you need to read between the lines of the story. There is no such thing as "in strict compliance compliance with state law" in states like California. If you "need" a medical marijuana card (wink wink) they you can get one. This essentially legalizes marijuana in those states without a federal law being passed to legalize it. P.S. Also, selective enforcement of the law is one way that the Obama administration is politicizing the Justice Department.
October 20, 200916 yr I agree. If the states are stupid enough to allow it, don't waste federal tax payer dollars prosectuting it. I'm interested in hearing why a state would be "stupid enough" to allow it? What is the state losing by legalizing medical marijuana? What are they gaining?
