Medical Marijuana Now “American Policy”

February 28th, 2009

Digital News Report- After last weeks announcement by Attorney General Eric Holder that DEA raids on medical marijuana dispensaries would end, supporters of medical cannabis exhaled in relief.  During the Bush administration, the DEA shut down nearly 40 dispensaries in the 14 states where medical marijuana is legal.  The raids continued for weeks after President Obama took office.

Obama stated during the campaign that he was in favor of medicinal use of marijuana.  “My attitude is if the science and the doctors suggest that the best palliative care and the way to relieve pain and suffering is medical marijuana, then that’s something I’m open to,” Obama stated in November of 2007 in Audubon, Iowa. “There’s no difference between that and morphine when it comes to just giving people relief from pain.”

Holder stated that what Obama said on the campaign trail is, “now American Policy.”

    Introducing MarijuanaLobby.org

    MarijuanaLobby.org :: Change we can engage in…
    Yes, We Can: A) save what’s left of our forests, B) ease the suffering of chemotherapy patients, and C) create desperately needed revenue streams for American communities during their time of greatest need. MarijuanaLobby.org seeks to enable American Patriots and Policy Makers in their continued efforts to decriminalize responsible Marijuana use in the United States by providing a petition portal specific to the issue of marijuana decriminalization, and by providing additional tools with which to empower citizen activists through education and public discourse. MarijuanaLobby.org believes passionately, Marijuana use should not be a crime. The MarijuanaLobby.org is the on-line portal for Patriotic Americans interested in repealing Marijuana prohibition laws, both Federal and Local.

    MarijuanaLobby.org is redefining the Lobby Influence pieces of democracy, for the people by the people as our founders had originally intended.
