An article at CNN.com headlines: U.S. attorneys told to go after pot traffickers, not patients. Although Justice officials seemed to go after this point quite thoroughly, when did they ever ask the police to go after patients who were prescribed medical marijuana?? However the writer, Terry Frieden, goes on to say
The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, which advocates legalization of marijuana, declared the government's memo Monday a "major departure in the so-called war on drugs" and "a major victory for citizens who support cannabis law reform."Still, I see no change in current laws. This might be the first time that the government has said these words out loud, but how can a citizen of this country be arrested on charges of carrying a drug that was specifically prescribed to him or her??
