Federal prosecutors not to target medical marijuana users and distributors

By Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration will not seek to arrest medical marijuana users and suppliers as long as they closely conform to state laws.

...Two department officials described the new policy to The Associated Press, saying federal prosecutors will be told it is not a good use of their time to arrest people who use or provide medical marijuana in compliance with state laws."

 

NORML reports that the states where medical hemp is legal is where you can light up with a doctor's note.

Alaska | California | Colorado | Hawaii | Maine | Maryland | Michigan | Montana | Nevada | New Mexico | Oregon | Rhode Island | Vermont | Washington 

The ceiling is shattered. Hemp's about to be legal because it's not a good use of the justice department's time.  

Remember, the biggest difference between the US and China's economies is hemp is already legal in China.  For more on the economics of hemp come on by the USA Hemp Museum and check out Volume 5 - HEMP FOR VICTORY: THE TRILLION DOLLAR CROP

Hemp Should Be Legal - End The War On Drugs

Here's an email from Richard M. Davis, founder and curator of the USA Hemp Museum, a private museum with a virtual wing located at http://www.hempmuseum.org/, to the US Attorney General, Eric Holder asking for clarification on President Obama's hemp policy.

"Dear DOJ,

Is hemp legal?

If not what is the signal that it is ok to plant hemp?

A hemp bill has passed the Legislature in CA. North Dakota wants to know. When can we plant?

Please answer this letter with a statement of permission to plant.

Please relay this request to President Obama.

Thank you.

Please contact President Obama and the Department of Justice to tell them to end the war on drugs, which has erupted into the an estimated 6,290 drug-related murders in Mexico last year, by ending the war on drugs.

As reported by MSNBC

"Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the trip to confer with Mexican leaders about the Merida Initiative, a three-year plan signed into law last June to flood the U.S.-Mexican border region with $1.4 billion in U.S. assistance for law-enforcement training and equipment, as well as technical advice and training to bolster Mexico’s judicial system.

The assistance is intended to help Mexican President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa step up his war against drug cartels. The drug lords and their soldiers are blamed for having killed more than 6,300 people since January 2008, including more than 1,000 in the first two months of this year alone.

That’s about 100 people every week for the last 14 months. The cartels usually do not target civilians, but dozens, perhaps hundreds, have died in the crossfire.

“It’s a real war,” says Jorge Ramos, mayor of Tijuana, Mexico, across the border with San Diego. “We’re not faking.”

END THE WAR ON DRUGS

Bill Richardson On Hemp

Based on his ample support of hemp legalization, we recommend Bill Richardson as Vice President on the Senator Barack Obama presidential ticket.

Here's a few pieces we found on Democratic Governor and presidential candidate Bill Richardson concerning hemp, i.e. medical marijuana.

Governor Richardson has taken heroic steps in his state, New Mexico to stop arresting sick people for using hemp.

We recommend that Governor Richardson and others visit the USA Hemp Museum, and work together with the Museum's curator Richard M. Davis to implement hemp as the real change required to save our nation and the world.

They can talk about how hemp is listed in the PDR Herbal edition as a herb that shrinks tumors and stops asthma attacks.

This information should be in the speaking of all pro hemp candidates on a daily basis.

Richard's written one of those "Read this like your life depends on it, it does!" books called HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION which explains how to use hemp to solve the problem of global warming.

Here's a few of the webeos we found concerning Governor Bill Richardson and hemp.
