In reply to the discussion: Obama says marijuana ‘no more dangerous than alcohol’ [View all]Comrade Grumpy

The Obama administration has been uneven in its enforcement of federal marijuana laws in medical marijuana states. Some of its most egregious actions have been in Mendocino County, like taking down Northstone Organics and blowing up the county's medical marijuana licensing scheme.
There are also people dealing in weed under the cover of the state's medical marijuana law. The feds have gone after quite a few of them. I think pot ought to be legal, but the people who use medical marijuana to cover shipping loads to red states take their chances.
As far as the LA dispensary situation, that wasn't Obama who shut them down now, was it? It was LA voters and the city council.
In fact, while you're busy railing about how "Obama lied," the biggest threat to dispensaries in California these days is not the feds at all; it's local city councils and county boards of supervisors. They're busy banning dispensaries and even grows all over the state.
