Are you smearious?
Cops fall under the Justice Dept, that is a cabinet position taking orders from Obomba. Laws based on non factual material can not stand as law if someone challenges them and politics is kept under a check and balance. Now we have CEO's in Congress and Monsanto Lobbyists in the FDA. Every major corporations keeping Ganja and Hemp outlawed has a stake in Obomba not doing anything. He appeased the voters who got him in with this non binding bait and switch. But its progress in this warped Ganjawar. We have hundreds of buyers clubs selling pot at prohibition prices with less fear of Feds intruding. If the locals are taught how to behave, then the risk is even less. Those with fascist governments or corporate slave towns won't be better off. No one will be Free until the bogus CSA is overturned, and that isn't even being discussed. Both sides profit on the war.
Yes locals harass dispensaries and as stated can tweak the understanding of what is state authorized, bringing in the DEAth. But its politics, not Justice. The Boggs Act and the CSA are both acts based solely on non laws of physics. Same as racist laws or why women shouldn't vote laws. Religious intervention more than factual research. But cops all have to follow the guidelines of the Constitution, and if push came to shove Obomba could declare Marshall Law. The DEAth aren't doing anything against Obomba. No show of hand. Nothing different than what he and Holder stated. Observing 10th amendment state jurisdictions leaving the clubs alone that comply with CA and Jerry Brownose. Obomba stated very clearly, We have to make him do it. That wasn't a threat or a plea, just the facts ma'am. He doesn't have the clout to pull something this profitable off anymore than Nixon or Johnson could have stopped Vietnam or Iraq. Too much money. Same as the Insurance Co's blackmailing Wallstreet, getting tax paid bail outs. The very same anti tax corporations and Banks. So surprise surprise, Obambi is a typical politician except he doesn't have the insider credit and hundreds of wingnut teabogs are frothing over stupidity, cutting off their own noses to spite their own ugly faces.
Our government has simply gone Inc. It is money and large numbers of people going to change Obomba. Business wants to sell it. Not the status quo fossil fools etc. But $300 million in hemp sales, at tourist prices means the market can only grow. CA testing the waters is clearing the way for all states. I believe it will end as booze, dry counties and limits on manufacturing and number of apothecaries and coffee shops. Its the money and it has always been about the money. Now the money has changed hands at least temporarily in the hands of we the people. But cops follow orders, period. Obomba is the Commander in Chief of the Military and the Justice Department. But I haven't seen a Democrat with any balls outside of Hilary.

Feds to Continue Raids on Medical Pot in California Nov 3 2009
The federal government will continue raids on medical marijuana operations in California despite guidelines issued by the Justice Department two weeks ago indicating the contrary.
Last year, State Attorney General Jerry Brown set guidelines mandating that city dispensaries are legally required to operate as not-for-profit collectives or cooperatives.
Russoniello said many dispensaries in San Francisco and around California aren’t really not-for-profit, and he will prosecute any distributor fraudulently operating as a commercial enterprise in violation of state laws.
How Marijuana Unavailability Leads to Use of Harder Drugs (1969)

OPERATION INTERCEPT CHAPTER 2
The Multiple Consequences of Public Policy By Lawrence A. Gooberman
The Multiple Consequences of Operation Intercept
The findings given in this chapter have been consolidated from the responses to each of the major areas of inquiry as set forth in the interview guide. Excerpts from taped interviews with drug users and drug sellers, as well as drug abuse rehabilitation workers and journalists who closely observed the events of the summer of 1969 in the New York City area, will be presented. The findings are divided into three sections. The first section will focus on the availability of marihuana during the Operation Intercept era. The second section will be concerned with the range of behavioral reactions to the marihuana shortage. The third section will explore attitudinal reactions to the situation and to the underlying public policy.

Medical Establishment Cares More About Profits Than People
by yves engler June 24, 2003
Last Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal and Financial Times ran front page articles about accussations against Medco, a subsidiary of Merck & Co. over false statements and claims to the government. This is in addition to investigations of Medco over violations of anti-trust, consumer-protection and pharmacy-licensing laws by at least 25 state attorney generals. Chief federal prosecutor in Philadelphia, Patrick Meehan said: these allegations suggest that, somewhere along the line, the focus became the profit instead of the patient. (FT, June 24, 2003) Somewhere along the line a capitalist corporation chose profit over the patient. Stop the presses. This is scandalous. A for-profit corporation, Medco, is accused of throwing ethics out the window to focus on increasing its return on investment.
