In what can only be described as major departure in the so-called ‘war on drugs’, the Obama Administration issued a new three page memo yesterday morning mapping out the federal government’s new guidelines for states that have laws protecting medical cannabis patients. In February Attorney General Eric Holder indicated in a press conference that the Obama Administration–which favors physician-recommended access to medical cannabis–would abate from what had been an aggressive law enforcement (and propaganda) campaign against medical access to cannabis. Yesterday’s memo from the Department of Justice formalizes these changes and is a MAJOR victory for citizens who support cannabis law reform!
