And believe me, here in Northern Calif.; even the sheriffs are pissed at the DOJ and the other entities that are taking apart the medial marijuana clinics.
Obama's DOJ looks corrupt when they do this type of thing. One of the only groups benefiting from taking apart what the state voters decided upon are the Mexican cartels. Does Obama really want credit for aiding and abetting the cartels?
The entire summer of 2011, every time I picked up a newspaper in Northern calif., there was yet another news story about another police group praising the fact due to local tax revenue produced by the medical marijuana clinics, police were able to retain their trained officers and their pension funds. And school kids got to keep more of their teachers.
Since Obama was not that interested in California's economic plight, letting Tim Geithner refuse us a 20 billion dollar friggin' loan, he really should stay the way out of our local remedies to both our illnesses and our economic distress.
