WHITE HOUSE STOPS MEDICAL MARIJUANA RAIDS. Two days after Barack Obama's inauguration—before the Senate had confirmed the nomination of Attorney General Eric Holder—the Drug Enforcement Administration raided a medical marijuana dispensary in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., one of the states that has made such facilities legal, Al Giordano noted at Narconews.com (2/6). "This, with full knowledge that as a presidential candidate Obama had pledged to discontinue such raids," Giordano noted. On 2/3 the DEA carried out multiple raids at medical marijuana clinics in the Los Angeles area. On 2/4, the White House made it clear to the Reuters news agency that the DEA is acting without its blessing. "White House spokesman Nick Shapiro ... reiterated Obama's stance that 'federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws.' And as he continues to appoint senior leadership to fill out the ranks of the federal government, he expects them to review their policies with that in mind," Shapiro said. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WebTV Dawgs/Dittos" group.
