Medical Marijuana Supporters 'Outraged' By Obama's DEA Chief :finger:

Medical marijuana supporters say they are "outraged" over President Obama's re-appointment of Bush Administration holdover Michele Leonhart as chief of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).


"The retention of this Bush-era holdover is a profound disappointment to all of us who hoped that Obama would bring meaningful change to Washington," lamented Dale Gieringer, director of California NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws).

​Leonhart is to blame for having blocked the approval of a medical marijuana research garden requested by leading researcher Dr. Lyle Craker at the University of Massachusetts, overruling a decision by DEA administrative law judge Mary Ellen Bittner.

​Leonhart's action effectively blocked the development of marijuana for FDA approval, since without licensed producers FDA development and approval are impossible.


"If there's one thing on which supporters and critics of medical marijuana agree, it's the need for FDA studies," Gieringer said.


"This appointment calls into question whether the administration has any desire to move towards FDA regulation or abandon the bankrupt policies of its predecessors."


California NORML is calling on the U.S. Senate to "reconsider" Leonhart's nomination in view of her damaging -- and ongoing -- opposition to medical marijuana research.

So our economy has been shit for 1-2 years or so.. it's getting better and the worst is behind us. Name somebody else who could have led us out of that so quickly. Also don't be so fast to blame him, it's not like the president is a dictator with absolute power over everything. Things have been slowly progressing for weed, but the most change happened in the last few years... patience is a virtue.

Yep, millions of you were taken for a ride. The question people should be asking themselves is: How were they so fooled? Why are they so gullible?

Dont take this shit people!
http://mmjspots.com/marijuana-legalization-backers-hand-in-initiative-petitions
Supporters of legalized marijuana announced today that they have gathered about 700,000 signatures for their initiative, virtually guaranteeing voters will see it on the November ballot.​
They plan to turn in the petitions today to elections officials in some of the state's major counties, including Los Angeles. Supporters need 433,971 valid signatures to qualify the measure.​
The measure’s main proponent, Richard Lee, a highly successful Oakland marijuana entrepreneur, bankrolled a professional signature-gathering effort that was bolstered by volunteers from the state’s hundreds of medical marijuana dispensaries.​

“This is a historic first step toward ending cannabis prohibition,” Lee said. “I’ve always believed that cannabis should be taxed and regulated and that our current laws aren’t working.”​
The initiative, known as the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act, would make it legal for anyone 21 and older to possess an ounce of marijuana and grow plants in an area no larger than 25 square feet for personal use. It would also allow cities and counties to permit marijuana to be grown and sold, and to impose taxes on marijuana production and sales.​
Four marijuana legalization initiatives have been proposed, but Lee’s is the only one that appears to have the financial support to make the ballot.​
Lee's firm, one of the state's most successful marijuana businesses, has spent more than $1 million on the measure and hired professional consultants to run the campaign. Lee owns half a dozen mostly pot-related businesses in Oakland, including Coffeeshop Blue Sky, a medical marijuana dispensary, and Oaksterdam University, which offers classes on marijuana.​
Polls have shown growing support nationwide for legalization. In California, a majority favors it. A Field Poll taken last April found that 56% of voters in the state and 60% in Los Angeles County want to make pot legal and tax it. That margin, though, is not enough to assure victory.​
The political climate has turned conservative in this non-presidential election year. Some prominent marijuana legalization advocates have questioned whether 2010 was the right year to test whether Californians would again break new ground on drug legalization, as they did in 1996 when they approved marijuana for medical use.​
If passed, the initiative would put the state in conflict with federal law. The Obama administration last year announced it would not prosecute medical marijuana dispensaries that adhere to California's laws, but it has adamantly opposed efforts to legalize marijuana for recreational use.​

Hey guys check this out. First of all dont take offence because were on the same side.

Obamas a puppet and like a puppet he has strings, and when theres strings, there's someone pulling those strings, and then (stay with me) theres a reason why there fucking with those strings indirectly. why? and who?

Dont hate on obama hes just a bitch doing what hes told to get a pay (not necessarily money) for what hes doing and how to present what he's doing. what we should all be asking ourselves is... what are the intentions of the string pullers?

Thats why ive started whats called "freedom fighter's" ( a group of individuals that want and love more than anything... freedom) in tucson, az. Its not big at all (but i hope and believe it will be), all it is, is a group of individuals that believe in freedom... freedom of speech, freedom of no financial turmoil, freedom of thought, freedom to do what the fuck you want when the fuck you want how the fuck you want, with no swine fucking that up... and so forth and so on. Freedom fighters... "FF", thats my way of saying fuck you george bush... fuck you dick, fuck you obama, and fuck you next bullshit president that thinks that im going to fall for your swine tacktics.

Now the only reason i said dont take offence is that im actually talking and taking action at party's, birthdays, christmas, smoke sessions, or any other gatherings with people that may or may not feel the same way as we do about this shit thats happening to our beautiful country "usa", and i think that we can talk all we want on the web but until we actually start living free and not asking to live free then thats only talk, and if you know talk... talk is cheap. guess what im not, im not saying you guys or whoever else is going to read and or resond is, im just saying im doing something in my town...


I truly hope there's others like me or at least feel like me, cause thats all i got is hope... aka faith

Ohh and i grow weed because i dont give a fuck what the government say what i should be doing or not... i do it because I AM FREE and i can do what i want because iI AM FREE

MJ will never be legalized as long as people are making lots of cash from it being illegal. You think the government doesn't make tons of cash imprisoning pot smokers and fining them and taking everything they own? Gov't probably makes 10 times as much as they would from a tax. Once its legalized it will be much much cheaper.

Remember, Ron Paul does not want to legalize cannabis. He wants to make the Government butt out of your business is all. And that in effect would legalize it.

This is the shit thing about a 2 party system but I think we can all agree that Obama has been much more progressive on this issue than McCain. Dispensaries would still be getting raided based on who pisses the DEA under McCain.

Obama also openly (on TV even) stated that the Federal government would NOT go after legitimate MMJ patients or thier caregivers. So WHY did the DEA JUST raid a local laboratory that did potency testing for dispensaries? Regular patients are next, mark my words. :sad:
Medical-pot advocates riled over federal raid of Denver lab

Federal drug-enforcement agents earlier this week seized medical-marijuana samples from a Denver lab that does potency testing for dispensaries, in what cannabis advocates say is an instance of continued official harassment of the medical-marijuana industry.
The raid at Full Spectrum Laboratories, just north of downtown Denver, occurred Wednesday, said Betty Aldworth, the lab's outreach director. She said agents took dozens of medical-marijuana samples — either small pieces of plants or test tubes of "extraction fluid" — but left the lab's equipment and did not arrest anyone.
Neither a Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman nor a U.S. attorney's office spokesman would confirm or deny that the raid took place.

Documents that would reveal why federal authorities targeted the lab were not available Thursday.
"We cannot comment on ongoing federal investigations," DEA spokesman Mike Turner said.
Rob Corry, an attorney for the lab, also declined to comment.
Aldworth said lab employees are baffled as to why DEA agents would raid the lab. She said the lab is designated as a caregiver for several medical-marijuana patients in the state.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced last year that federal authorities would not bother people operating in compliance with their state's medical-marijuana laws, but would continue to pursue anyone authorities believed were using the laws as cover for more nefarious activities.
"The advice that we received suggested we were doing everything we needed and more to be legal," Aldworth said.
The lab, which opened in November, conducts tests on different marijuana strains to determine their potency and help dispensaries provide dosing guidelines for patients.
"It seemed, based on their questioning, they thought we were doing other things here," Aldworth said.
Meanwhile on Thursday, lawyers for the city of Centennial and a dispensary the city ordered shuttered prepared for round two of their legal fight in an Arapahoe County courtroom.
In December, Judge Christopher Cross ruled that Centennial improperly cited federal law in shutting down the dispensary, CannaMart.
Since the ruling, though, Centennial has prevented CannaMart from reopening, arguing that its current location isn't zoned for a dispensary and that the city's moratorium on new dispensaries prevents it from moving elsewhere.
Centennial attorney Andrew Nathan said the city was acting in good faith. But CannaMart attorney Bob Hoban argued that those conditions effectively continued the ban, and he asked Cross to intervene. Cross declined, saying the zoning and moratorium issues weren't brought up in CannaMart's original lawsuit.
"If they choose a different reason for banning it . . . that's a different issue, and that's not before the court," Cross said.
CannaMart's attorneys then vowed to amend their lawsuit to include the new issues, setting up another clash in the ongoing battle.
