Mounting Pressure on DEA Head to Resign For Calling Medical Marijuana "A Joke"

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Like I said, not perfect, but better than others would have been.

What do you suppose would have happened if Hillary had been in the WH in 2012 when CO and WA legalized? You know Obama had to argue with Holder, et al over that whole thing, with no doubt Biden and other higher ups arguing for a tougher tack.

The institutional inertia I'm talking about is real- with CA you had asinine us attys like Melinda Haag, responsible for the prosecutions you mention. Im not giving Obama a pass, but even as head of the executive branch he is not all powerful; I recognize that he has quietly enabled real reform which a more committed President can build upon but also that a reactionary one (this is important) will have trouble rolling back.
