DEA Crackdown on medical marijuana ahead?
Here we go again...

Here is a link for patents filed: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6630507.PN.&OS=PN%2F6630507&RS=PN%2F6630507


Drug-policy reformers are worried about a new Obama administration memo instructing federal prosecutors on how to deal with the growing number of medical marijuana dispensaries.

The Justice Department memo, sent to U.S. attorneys around the nation, addresses a central problem with the growing number of states that have legalized medical marijuana: The drug remains illegal under federal law, whether used for medical purposes or not. The new guidance memo reiterates the illegality of medical marijuana and appears to encourage prosecutors to go after some marijuana dispensaries, particularly the large operations.

This is not about doing the right thing for the American People at all..
This is about absolute power, and control by this Government even over the States rights...
think of it this way.. This issue is so old that two generations have been born and raised... NO change in all these years no matter how much evidence there is to prove otherwise..

1. They view pot as liberals would like abortion, legal but rare.

I, as well as a fellow patient, in separate incidents almost had to become icons in the fight against fascist patient setups. I was going to nail their asses, but Mom said, if they will do such illegal things, what would stop them from doing worse?
