Federal prosecutors say they believe the state's law has become a cover for an increasing number of illegal, large-scale growers and dispensaries to develop for-profit operations that are beyond the original intent of the state law, which was to provide relief to the sick and frail.
Regardless of Obama's promises, the above statement precisely demonstrates how both state and federal government is a failure of massive proportions. Who in the world DID NOT expect the above statement to come true? Seriously. Even the most ignorant liberal could have figured that this would happen.

The ignorance and stupidity is mindboggling.

The difference between liberals and conservatives is that the liberals are not afraid if pounds or tons of cannabis are diverted to recreational use. They know that cannabis is not really a schedule 1 drug and they know that the government (that has run it's own compassionate care program for decades, providing cannabis from a legal grow in Mississippi) knows it too.

There have been, over 22,000 studies of cannabis around the world. What is enough?

The hippocracy of our government is mindboggling.

Maybe one of those studies should have been on how to decide what level of impairment on weed once can be at to drive a vehicle ala breathalyzer test. As far as I see that is the only hangup I or many others would have. Can't have a bunch of legally stoned folks driving around all over.

Sure they will. Lot of em do now same with drunks. Need some sort of standard set. Just because something is illegal like driving under the influence doesn't mean plenty don't do it they just take the chance of getting caught or not.

No, he failed. He didn't keep his promise.

And no, Romney will not make progress in this area. The difference is he will not tell you a lie regarding pot.

The other difference is that Obama says he will not prosecute medical pot outlets and then he does. He is a liar.

Romney will not tell that lie.

As a strong conservative with some libertarian leanings, I think pot and most drugs should be legalized. The fact that we have a war on pot, a natural growing plant, is insane.

Romney won't tell a lie on this issue because he hasn't figured out what his position is. When he finally figures that out, if he feels he needs to, he'll change it. That's politics. They will both promise things they either can't or won't deliver on.

But Romney will continue to fight the war on weed, and the lies that come along with it.
