(51,666 posts)Do please show where the Obama administration bears any responsibility for this.
You would do better to look toward the ultra-conservative Mormon-dominated political power structure in Idaho.
But being one to NEVER pass up a chance to attack Obama, your misplaced blaming comes as no big shock.

In South Idaho, tho, Mormonism remains strong. Between the Mormons in the South and the Palinites in the North, we're surrounded by Christian lunacy.

(13,184 posts)It's one of the most reactionary places in the country when it comes to marijuana. The Rineharts have become medical marijuana refugees, fleeing to friendlier climes in Oregon.
It's a stretch to blame this on Obama, unlike, say, DEA raids on dispensaries and Justice Department prosecutions of medical marijuana providers.
