Feds give up! Fire it up!
 
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?
