you all DO realize that if Holder resigns or is fired...

156. You forgot ...

To post the REST of what President Obama said. Here, I'll post it for you:

"What I specifically said was that we were not going to prioritize prosecutions of persons who are using medical marijuana," Obama said. "I never made a commitment that somehow we were going to give carte blanche to large-scale producers and operators of marijuana -- and the reason is, because it's against federal law."

The president continued: "I can't nullify congressional law. I can't ask the Justice Department to say, 'Ignore completely a federal law that's on the books.' What I can say is, 'Use your prosecutorial discretion and properly prioritize your resources to go after things that are really doing folks damage.' As a consequence, there haven't been prosecutions of users of marijuana for medical purposes."

Until our Federal Legislators get in line with those States supportive of MMJ, absent advocating dictatorial mandates, the President's hands are tied.

I my view, the solution to MMJ (at the Federal level) is not dispensaries; but rather, (as the Arizona MMJ law allows) the user or their suurrogate get certified and grow their own ... for their own use.

It seems to me that many fighting the MMJ fight are doing so, not for the Medical part, but as a tactic in the larger, legalize it fight.
