Obama won't interfere with Cannabis law for the same reason he won't mess with gun laws. If it is politically unpopular in DC he doesn't do it. On the good side however, he did appoint Eric Holder as Attorney General (highest law enforcement official in the country). He has ended the DEA raids for the most part on dispensaries. The ONLY reason he has done this, in my opinion, is to avoid the political backfire this would cause when you see the DEA rounding up patients and destroying medicinal marijuana dispensaries (like what was going on under Bush). In the USA, it seems like policy on marijuana is in sort of a legal limbo at this point. Changing with whatever administration is in power at the particular time. When did the USA turn into a Banana Republic? All together unsatisfactory. Instead of respecting the STATES DECISION to support their medicinal patients, the federal Govt. sits there and pouts (like a little kid who doesn't get their way) and says WELL ITS STILL NOT LEGAL BY FEDERAL STANDARDS AND WE TRUMP STATE LAW NA NA NA NA NA. This is altogether an unsatisfactory situation and it cannot last. Why is it so hard for them to admit they are wrong, change the law and get on with life?
