collateral damage in pot industry

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I'm more and more against the war on drugs.  Having said that the title still irks me a bit.  Dude had to have known growing dope is still a no no with the feds, and that this could have happened.

Yup, the headline is all wrong.  Pot was not legal in his state.

I'm slightly surprised and amused by how many potheads were gaga over President Obama.

AFAIK, his administration still has the same policy on pot as all of the previous administrations, that federal government has a right to declare a plant to be illegal, states cannot overrule the federal government and that people who don't follow the last two rules get arrested. Has the Obama administration implemented any significant policy changes in regards to the War on Drugs? I do know the DEA hasn't changed a bit.

In their defense, they are potheads.

Yes, this administration has actually been more draconian on drugs than the "conservative" Bush administration.   ;/

IIRC, the Obama administration said they wouldn't sweat pot that much, then turned around and said nevermind, and then prosecuted plenty.

I wonder how big an impact asset forfeiture plays into these prosecution decisions.
