House votes to stop feds from executing raids in medical marijuana states - UPI.com
All I can say is "about damn time" and "what can we do next to get rid of such a stupid designation such as weed being illegal"
after midnight Friday, congress voted to approve an amendment that would bar federal agencies from holding raids in states that allow medical marijuana.
If the amendment passes, the Senate, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Justice Department would have to halt all efforts to curb the distribution and cultivation of marijuana in states that legally "authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana."
"Congress is officially pulling out of the war on medical marijuana patients and providers," said Dan Riffle, director of federal policies for the Marijuana Policy Project. "Federal tax dollars will no longer be wasted arresting seriously ill medical marijuana patients and those who provide to them."
