Whether or not Obama's Administration Pulls the Wrong Pig by the Ear

Washington, D.C. -- Chuck Grassley, Republican Sen. in Thursday expressed his evidently disapproval of the operation and particularly for certain steps towards relieving prohibitions on medical marijuana use. The Iowa lawmaker at an accumulation to negotiate health care reform tore to pieces the Justice Department's new policy of aiming at California's medical marijuana black-marketeer only if they violate both federal and state law.

From his personal point of view it is a sore spot from the Bush administration and it is directly connected with dispensaries under federal law even if they fit the requirement with the state's law permitting sales of medical marijuana. Earlier Attorney General Eric Holder already raised the question sharply.

"The first rule of medicine, first do no harm, is being violated by the attorney general by his decision," said Grassley.

"The Obama administration deserves credit for basing policy on facts and science, not the myths perpetuated by Sen. Grassley," said Bruce Mirken, spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project.
