No federal challenge to pot legalization in 2 states

Washington (CNN) -- The Justice Department said it won't try to block state laws that legalize marijuana and issued loosened enforcement guidelines for federal prosecutors intended to focus on serious trafficking cases.

Attorney General Eric Holder, in a conference call Thursday morning, notified the governors of Colorado and Washington that the department, for now, will not seek to pre-empt those states' laws, which followed voters' approval of ballot measures that legalized recreational marijuana use.

Marijuana will remain illegal under the federal Controlled Substances Act. But the attorney general issued a memo to federal prosecutors in all states tightening federal marijuana prosecution standards.

Under the guidelines, federal prosecutors are required to focus on eight enforcement priorities, including preventing marijuana distribution to minors, preventing drugged driving, stopping drug trafficking by gangs and cartels, and forbidding the cultivation of marijuana on public lands.


It is a first step . The next President will decriminalize it. Anyone want to bet?

Yeah, so the justice department won't focus on those states, but the DEA will. And there's a good chance this is just talk anyway... Remember how Obama said he would put an end to the federal drug raids in California? How did that turn out?

The DEA will no doubt target traffickers more diligently, they wont kick in your door though unless you have a farm in your basement.

Who cares if marijuana is illegal.

You still smoke it anyway. It's not like its hard to find either.

Don't need you smoking that shit outside of a Starbucks with a mom walking her baby nearby giving it the permaderps.

I remember this because specifically. He said the same thing when he was elected. Then went back on his word and started going after shops near schools etc.....This happened in Colorado as well.

this. although not because you're going to give a baby 'permaderps' just by smoking near it. because I don't really want some pothead smoking a bowl around my kids when they're going to school. Or at the mall. Not saying legalization is a bad thing at all (because it's not) but I am saying stoners had better follow the law and not start blazing bowls around teenagers and kids. Preserve their innocence, please. And be respectful.

As long as that happens I'm all for it. Need to stop putting pot heads in prison anyways.

It should be allowed to be smoked wherever cigarettes can be smoked. The only way you could tell a difference, at first glance, between a cig and a joint is just the smell. Plus some places have public smoking bans, so make it you can't smoke weed there either.

Treat it like something between cigs and alcohol is my idea, but since I'm not in Gov't, that thought won't be used.

Agree with Rocks here. These fucking degenerate clowns shouldn't be able to light up in public. This thread makes me think of all the asshats who walk into my store smelling like weed a mile fuckin' away.. keep that stupid shit away from my kids, thanks.

Clearly, I don't smoke.

^^ i did smoke for a long time, and still feel this way.

i dont anymore, but even if I did i'd still be saying keep it out of public. Again, I don't want some kid smoking out of a gasmask bong in front of a group of 9 year olds.

Can u imagine being 9 and seeing someone do that? you'd think it was the coolest thing ever. Preserve innocence imo.
