US Attorney General Eric Holder: Ending Medical Marijuana Raids now US Policy

[djaldd420]

that's refreshing

[aquelmarihuano]

I hope this is just the beginning and not just a bone thrown there for us to chew on for a while

[whatisdrunkal]

All lies!! He did not address the specific question. Obama is as two faced as anyone in D.C.. The raids will continue, the campaign trail promises will be broken, and the miliions living in fear of their choice to smoke will still be criminals when Obama's term is over. The fact that 300 videos sprang up with exuberant messages like "no more raids in u.s." only means people hear, see, and conclude what they want to believe.

God Bless You Mr. Eric Holder and your family. I know that you have been appointed during a very difficult time. The Justice Department was tarnished thanks to Gonzales. I know the road will be long and hard. We wish you well! God Speed!

[SarahSoulFood]

I'm in the U.K. suffering from MS. I cried when I saw this. The US is streaks ahead of us but change is on the way. Thank you!

[Christopher0312]

Good. Leave these clubs alone.

[DevBlazed]

Shame that same guy wants to take our guns away.

oh well, baby steps towards freedom.

The day of national legalization is soon upon us.

[dannysr20]

i would gladly make the trade, they can take our guns only if they give us marijuana.

[thisisgame]

*Lights up*

Obama is the MFING MAN!!!

[whataclusterfuck]

I'm here from the Government, and I'm here to help.

/s

[Vriess1]

Hell yes get on digg

[WorldTraveler4Peace]

Because this is so well dug (digg'd) We all need to step it up in the Digg'n and make the public aware of this issue that's been swept under the rug for so long. Lets fix our economy and get happy in one fell swoop! I'll be holding Obama and his people to this... JUST IN CASE YOUR LISTENING!!!

[goodinohio]

Do away with drug laws and the drug "treatment" scam.

Let them do drugs, od, die and GTF out of the way.

[WorldTraveler4Peace]

Good idea. We are here, we are high, Get used to it!

[phoneunlisted]

i already love this guy.

[SYLBM]

not a very strong affirmation, but if he means what he said, this is a great victory for state's rights and medical marijuana users everywhere. let's just hope he shows some integrity.

[MakingBoost]

Finally!

[pickupthepenny]

STUYVESANT HIGH SCHOOL ALUM!

[zbestwun2001]

NO MORE RAID!!!

YES!

[ISP420ISP]

finally its about time they stop raiding and i hope this happens right away

[jurgislv]

fantastic news

[WhoFgCares]

Is it more important to generate revenues via fines, seizures, etc. than to treat your otherwise law-abiding citizens with dignity? I sincerely hope not.

[WhoFgCares]

Plain and simple - cannabis is LESS HARMFUL than ALCOHOL. Where is the logic in persecuting users of the less-harmful, non-addictive, cheap/free substance - a mostly benign plant that has existed on our planet for thousands of years? Why do a minority of moralist, fear-mongers perpetuate this agenda (cannabis prohibition) year after year, knowing full well it's essentially a farce?

[Cannabisativa420]

yea stop the raids!

[SPmachina033]

this is great news.

[utubesucks2003]

The first thing I actually like coming out of the Obama administration.

[jnight87]

its about time

[AlunB3]

sure is time they stopped persecuting and prosecuting cannabis users who do no harm to anyoine

[starlightfury]

not really. hes definitely not an economic protectionist, nor does he oppose free trade in any way. his immigration policies are not unreasonable, and i challenge you to find a more honest politician than ron paul, even though that mere title may seem like an oxymoron these days.

call me stupid, but i just dont understand how it seems like so few are concerned with personal liberty. at least prodigy from mobb deep gets it...

[rwarzor]

he wasn't even specific on what was american policy.

call me skeptical

[alitespace]

you know how politicians can't say to much. but im still optomistic.

[pta1014]

Fuck yes.

One more step for medical marijuana in Texas among other states!

[ForeverC00l]

about time

[felixpav]

End this war on The People!

[2ndOfficerCHL]

Now here's some common sense. The war against marijuana is a waste of time.

[RevGreen]

Set the NON-VIOLENT GANJA PRISONERS FREE !!!

PRAISE JAH !!!!!!!

[albinowolf2]

Finally, a bit of sense, coming from Babylon! We need to continue in this direction and quit wasting money to bust ALL cannabis.

One love!

[YesWeCannabis20]

ooooh yeeesss! i'm smoking a bowl right now in celebration :)

[honeybees1]

Ah, The sound of reason,Thank God.

[ScottElwood32]

UG FTW.

Legalization is Now. All of our hard work has paid off, I am proud of all the stoners out there who fought the good fight.

[HEMPFESTdotORG]

Yes we cannabis! FINALLY leadership and change we can believe in. THANK YOU Mr. president, for your bold and courageous move. This is a great day to be an American.

[starlightfury]

too bad there was actually a presidential candidate who would've immediately ended the war on drugs. his name was ron paul...

this, however, is one of the few things obama has done that i agree with.

[axlerodhomeboy]

I have to say, I agree with Obama on this move. It is the right thing to do.

Stop the war on the American people. This is a good step in that direction, and in the direction of keeping a campaign promise.

Once that promise has been kept, what more can we expect?

[asesinno2]

You guys think this will drop the price of medical marijuana?

[phishfan08]

YES! haha, it seems that SO MUCH has been happening on the Marijuana subject these past couple of weeks.

Maybe our DEA will drop Marc Emery's Extradition!!!!!! Oh, I hope so!

[whiskers123]

Lets hope the DEA listens...

[buckd316]

FINALLY!!! im moving to cali!

[lookingforghosts]

Yeah! Maybe I won't have to hide in my basement to take the meds, I need .

Unless you are as sick as I have been it won't matter.

But if you are as sick as me it will be a life altering change for the better

[JackDaRipper87]

This is absolutely amazing! !!!

[CorbinJDK13]

Here we go ladies and gentlemen; baby steps, baby steps....

[xchristyxx]

Is it truly on the horizon? F*ck yeah hahaha there's still some lingering doubt but i have NEW faith that the government will own up to what its promised...

[420patientdotcom]

Thank you Eric.... MARIJUANA SAVES LIVES!

Tell a friend!

[millsfilms]

best news of the day so far

[principles101]

Don't count chickens before they are hatched. Don't trust any words out of government politicians mouths. When you see it, then believe it.

[razoride]

Truth.

[autopsy87]

fuckin a. This is really getting rediculous tho. Power needs to be given back to the states and at the very least, Marijuana should be decriminalized. The only thing that hurts guys like me is drug testing for jobs. Ive never failed one, but thats because I had to quit. I only want enough marijuana for me. I have no plans to sell or grow it for anyone but myself. and here were talking abou a legal adult over 21 spending his money and smoking his marijuana in his house on his own time.

[blissful420]

Wow. We'll have to see though.

[mos619]

yeah he didn't really say plainly, "there will be no raids" just "yeah Obama said that...."
