U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder needs to make up his mind already: Grow some balls and hold the 9/11 terror trials in NYC or bitch out and do it somewhere else.
Yes Weed Can!
Ending months of speculation and uncertainty, the Obama administration announced it will instruct federal agencies to stop going after “pot-smoking patients” and the growers that supply them in states where medical weed is legal reports the Associated Press. But that doesn’t mean it’s all good just yet, if you abuse the system, they will bust you!: Read more »
Help Build the President’s Vocabularly
Attorney General Eric Holder isn’t the only asshole in President Obama’s cabinet who is holding up the inalienable right of Americans to smoke weed legally. Current drug czar Gil Kerlikowske doesn’t want anything to do with that dastardly “legalization” word. He’s not even sure what it means, snidely repeatingly this line every chance he gets: “Legalization is not in the president’s vocabulary, and it’s not in mine.” But now’s your chance to educate him, by emailing his boss! Hopefully the learning curve trends upwards when the country is dead-ass broke.
Medical weed provider Charles Lynch will have to do a year in prison after Attorney General Eric Holder pussied out and refused to intervene in the sentencing of the California man. Although both Holder and President Obama promised that the federal government will not waste any time or resources prosecuting citizens operating dispensaries that are legal under state law, they still have yet to offer any substantial directives for defendants currently in the system. Still things could have been worse, and luckily U.S. District Judge George Wu decided to only sentence him to a year instead of the “five-year sentence normally required by federal law for conspiring to grow and distribute marijuana.” |SFGate|
No weed can’t. That’s basically what President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice said to Charlie Lynch, a California man who was convicted under federal law for dispensing medicinal cannabis that was legal under state law. A federal judge purposely postponed sentencing to give the administration some discretion and get some guidance from Attorney General Eric Holder.
Unfortunately, the DOJ is refusing to intervene in the conviction (PDF doc), despite recent statements made by the nation’s top prosecutor and the president himself, both of whom promised not to waste federal resources or interfere with states’ rights in this matter. Federal prosecutors now effectively have the green light to keep raiding legal medical weed facilities. Lynch is expected to be sentenced tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean you can’t contact the White House today on his behalf.
