San Francisco, CA- Eric Holder, Attorney General- has recently made a strong announcement that a newly elected President Obama while being a candidate pleaded states to evaluate their own medical marijuana legislation, now is going to prevent raids on pot dispensaries in California.
According to Holder's words at Wednesday news conference Drug Enforcement Administration raids in California, asked at a Washington, D.C., pointed that they have changed their political course.
Then he added that the majority will be simply surprised to hear the president speech during the campaign and that it will be enough consequential with what he is going to apply here in law enforcement. And his speech at the campaign period now realized in American policy
As far as Bill Piper, national activities director of the Drug Policy Alliance, a marijuana advocacy group is concerned that the speechification was well built-up and instrumental.
Obama gave it clear to understand that his promising prospects and statements will give way to new challenges that it means what he said on the campaign trail that marijuana should be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal justice issue.
Obama promised to influence the federal government's long-lasting opposition, which prevent to spread health officials' needle-exchange programs for addicted.
Need it to admit that his election campaign was successfully organized and during the time of one speaking, Obama revealed one of his biographical facts and told his mother illness story.His mother suffered from horrendous disease and later-on died from cancer. In the result the President expressed his point of view; here he didn't distinguish morphine, prescribed by a doctor to his mother and marijuana, being used as analgesic. In his March 2008 interviewer Obama saw no danger in legalization the medical use of marijuana by state authorities, but to put it under a stringent control as other drugs prescribed by doctors.
Nevertheless, as soon as two days after Obama's inauguration have passed and after the DEA raided a marijuana clinic at South Lake Tahoe on Jan. 22 and four others in the Los Angeles area on Feb. 2, the supporter groups' protests asked explanations, but Nick Schapiro, White House spokesman failed to present the detailed Obama appointed drug policy directions.
According to Schapiro, the president presumes the federal resources should not be used to chuckle state laws and the policy will be correctly fulfilled. |
