  Obama Justice and medical marijuana 
The President's justification for his crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries has to be heard to be believed

 ...Much more important, though, is that the Obama DOJ is aggressively prosecuting dispensaries without any suggestion that they’re breaking local law, and worse, is threatening states considering enacting medical marijuana laws that dispensing medical marijuana, in and of itself, even to sick people with a prescription, is a violation of federal law that will be prosecuted..."

*sigh*  I've given President Hopey Opie so many chances to prove that he might be the one to help change our sick political system.  


It's not happening, especially with the "War On Drugs."  Going after medical marijuana dispensaries is only inviting the cartels to put possibly unsafe product in the hands of sick people.


Here's how I feel about it:


Legalize drugs, even though meth and heroin scare the crap out of me because I've seen what they do to people.  Tax them, regulate them.  Take the tax money and fund drug treatment centers.  


Yes, some people will die.  They are already dying.  Take away the cartels' gun money and maybe more people caught in the crossfire in Mexico will live.  We share a long border with them.  Our illegal drugs markets are killing our friends and neighbors.
