I just wanted everyone to read this article from the Huffington Post about some comments Holder made recently. He has confirmed that he and President Obama intend to keep their promise and end federal raids on Medical Marijuana Clubs.
Holder was asked if those raids represented American policy going forward.
"No," he said. "What the president said during the campaign, you'll be surprised to know, will be consistent with what we'll be doing in law enforcement. He was my boss during the campaign. He is formally and technically and by law my boss now. What he said during the campaign is now American policy."
God I love that quote. Just imagine- an elected president doing exactly what he said he would do in his campaign.
I have to confess, I was a little worried about this issue. Not that I'm a concern troll, but come on. This is marijuana. This is a thing that 46% of Americans have tried and 70% of Americans want to legalize and .5% of Americans are in prison for possessing. (statistics 100% ex recto). It's one thing for a black horse candidate with no family, no political history, and no chance in hell of winning to say he'll do this. It's another thing for the president to say it.
So enjoy this little dollup of hope, kossacks. Sorry for the short diary, but I really don't have a lot to add, except maybe, w00t!
