Obama really could magically make the medical marijuana issue disappear...

40. Then he gets to choose what to enforce

To a degree. I recall the IRS getting stomped on for overdoing it - the IRS would have the power to harass everyone about little entries on their returns - they cut back on that.

There are some immigration laws the administration is going kinder and gentler on.

But if the administration chooses to enforce the dispensary laws, then they have that power. It may be Obama's opinion those laws need to be enforced. If a dispensary has power to dispense what is normally illegal in other circumstances, then it will be highly regulated and subject to abuse. So I don't see what's so horrid about it, or at least, why aren't the cases described better and why aren't both sides considered? Maybe the administration does have a good argument for enforcing this law (when they can enforce any law). I just won't jump on that bandwagon of "Obama is always wrong" when it comes to these things.
