No change in marijuana laws coming, White House says

[RainDog]

146. Polis is complaining that Holder has failed to provide legislators information

about the stance of the federal govt. regarding legislation and, he said, Holder has AVOIDED addressing the issue.

So, you can claim whatever you'd like. The guy in the legislature that is leading the way on legalization at the federal level, however, disagrees with you.

No one said they are stupid.

What has been said is that they are FAILING TO LEAD or provide adequate information for those who are TASKED, WHOSE JOB IT IS TO IMPLEMENT LEGISLATION voted into place in their states regarding this issue.

This isn't just some la-de-dah complaint.

Legislators have to PAY for the legislation they implement. They have to allocate funds and SPEND MONEY to create the infrastructure for a legal system of marijuana distribution, taxation and regulation. Polis wants to know that he will not be wasting taxpayer money on these necessary expenditures if the AG is going to turn around and bring down the IRS, the DEA, etc. etc. on these businesses, burdening them, too, with expenditures.

The legislation needs to be in place. Legislators want to know how the admin is going to respond because, otherwise, they don't want to waste taxpayer dollars if the AG, etc. are going to, again come down on the side of banksters laundering money for cartels rather than citizens who want to operate legal businesses.
