If you want to talk about prosecutions, then you should start another thread.
This one is about raids.
It would be a bit like me trying to claim the DEA are actually heroes because while they may have neglected to provide food or water to Daniel Chong, they didn't prosecute him either. In fact, he wasn't even charged with anything, so clearly he has nothing to complain about.
A reversal in the growth of the prison population is a good thing, but it doesn't excuse the administration's record on dispensary raids.

Obama will lose MANY votes because of this. And you will lose even the meager gains you have made.

No. He's willing to let the GOP discuss them. He is not, and has not, "called" for them.
