Obama defends action on medical marijuana dispensaries
Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Wed, April, 25th 2012 by THCFinder
President Obama defended his administration's crackdown on some medical marijuana dispensaries, saying he can't ask the Justice Department to ignore federal law.
The remarks hit on an issue that has troubled Obama supporters who remember his comments — in 2008 — that he would not use federal resources to "try and circumvent state laws about medical marijuana."
Attorney General Eric Holder echoed that commitment in a 2009 memo stating that users and dispensaries that comply with state and local laws would not be a priority for the Justice Department.
Since that time, more than 100 dispensaries have been raided by federal prosecutors, according to reports.
And in 2010, Holder wrote that his department would "vigorously enforce" federal laws related to the drug when a ballot initiative in California sought, unsuccessfully, to legalize its use.
In an interview, Obama sought to clarify the apparent change in course.
"I can't nullify congressional law," he told Rolling Stone which asked about his 2008 comments.
"What I specifically said was that we were not going to prioritize prosecutions of persons who are using medical marijuana.
"I never made a commitment that somehow we were going to give carte blanche to large-scale producers and operators of marijuana — and the reason is, because it's against federal law."

Southern California city asks federal authorities to clear out medical marijuana dispensaries
Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Wed, April, 25th 2012 by THCFinder
GARDEN GROVE, Calif. — A Southern California community has asked federal authorities to oust medical marijuana dispensaries in the Orange County city.
Garden Grove police Chief Kevin Raney told the City Council on Tuesday night that his department has been in discussions with the Drug Enforcement Administration and agents are expected soon.
He wants the DEA to enforce federal law. California allows for the medical use of marijuana, federal law does not.
Raney says there are about 60 dispensaries in the city.
Federal agents raided two medical pot dispensaries in nearby Costa Mesa earlier this year.
The Orange County Register (http://bit.ly/JzWqHl) says Raney's comments came in response to council member questions and resident complaints about the proliferation of the dispensaries in the city.
Raney says there are about 60 dispensaries in the city.
