Good News for my West Coast Friends!

Source:  US Department of Justice Press Release

United States Federal Prosecutors have been directed to stop marijuana-related prosecutions in the current States (14 of them) in which the medical use of marijuana has been “legalized.”

The Federal Government has wisely (legally speaking anyway) decided that it is antithetical and a waste of funding to interfere with State Legislation on the issue.  Since most of you are dying to know, the States which currently permit medical usage of marijuana are: Alaska; California; Colorado; Hawaii; Maine; Michigan; Montana; Nevada; New Mexico; Oregon; Rhode Island; Vermont; and Washington.

Yes that’s 13. The 14th, Maryland, merely permits reduced possession penalties for those using the drug for a medical purpose.  In the words of Bob Marley, “Legalize it. No, don’t criticize it.”  And in the words of former President Bill Clinton, “Don’t inhale.”
