Obama/FEDs Cave to Patient Pressure on Safe Access!
Snippet:

"In a monumentally historic move made by the Obama Administration via comments from Attorney General Eric Holder, the Feds announced today that they would begin to work with Governors and State lawmakers in seeking a legal compromise that allows for State-sponsored medical cannabis dispensaries to be legal on the Federal level. Holder's comments were brief and somewhat vague, but certainly hugely beneficial news for patients and safe access. Some confusion whether all dispensaries in a state with legalized medical cannabis would be tolerated, or whether only dispensaries in medical cannabis states with specific licensing / authorization provisions for dispensaries in their laws would be acceptable."

2. This announcement came on the heels of this report:
http://media.npr.org/documents/2011/june/Global_Commission_Report_English.pdf

I just called my rep to get additional info. I suspect patients will be next fighting to maintain the right to produce their own herbal medicine, safely and Cheaply in their own back yard.
Cannabis will likely lose it's current "market value", once laws are relaxed.
