In states that allow medical marijuana use, the federal government will not pursue organizations that distribute marijuana. There are 14 states as of now that allow private citizens use marijuana for certain medical conditions. The Obama administration has deemed pursuit of those who use and distribute medical marijuana to be a waste of time and effort.
Will This Be The First Step To De-Criminalization?
Here are the states that have a legal use for marijuana:
Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
There is a huge push in certain states, especially California, to completely de-criminalize marijuana all together. This move forward has a lot of “stoners” pretty anxious I am sure.
Tell me what you think!
Stay Strong!

“Stoners”? An individual that consumes alcohol considered a “drunk”? When is right to judge an individual because of their beliefs or even their extracurriculars? Is right to judge? The derogatory labels that are subjected onto people does not characterize them. Not everybody that supports legalization of marijuana engages in the use of marijuana. Labeling individuals or groups of people is ignorant.(not an attack) History can easily show us that. Take Obama for example, first African American president. There was a time when African Americans were held back from gaining opportunities in politics, in education, and in society. Times have changed significantly. There is no reason to stall the progress of race relations, or matter of fact, of any kind of human relations.
The pursuit for distributors and users is not only a waste of time but also a waste of money. The taxation of legalized marijuana can lead to billions of dollars towards the growth of our economy. I understand that safety is important to non-supporters of legalization of marijuana. In reality, marijuana has caused a few to zero casualties. However, asprin, an over-the-counter drug, is more fatal than marijuana. Are we, as people, influenced by constant bembardment of facts that are “suppose” to be correct? Are these facts leading us in the right direction?

I’m relieved some states have seen the benefits of decriminalization. Now if the rest of the country would follow the example of Amsterdam we’d probably have a much more understanding country.

While we’re discussing President Obama De-Criminalizes Medical Marijuana, We need to constantly remind politicians that it is bad policy to reduce the quality of medical education and training or seek to replace the central role of the doctor with lesser-qualified health workers.
