BREAKING: Feds say NOT SO FAST on newly elected marijuana laws!!!

The department’s responsibility to enforce the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged. Neither states nor the executive branch can nullify a statute passed by Congress. In enacting the Controlled Substances Act, Congress determined that marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance.

who will be the modern day Crispus Attucks? and when will the second "shot heard 'round the world" be fired?

Well who didn't see that coming?

oh gee what a surprise!!!

hey, lets waste more money on trying to put americans in jail and ruin there lives

So what are they going to do, set up huge federal marijuana law enforcement agencies in CO and WA?

Checkpoints everywhere? Door to door searches? Huge squads of weed sniffing dogs?

Why do they want the Mexican cartels to have the drug money, instead of hard working American farmers?

They don't care if you smoke it, just don't make any money:

"She said she talks regularly with U.S. attorneys in medical marijuana states to discuss trends and legal strategies. She said federal officials see the same hallmarks in medical marijuana trafficking operations that they see in other trafficking cases, including illegal weapons and tax evasion.

"The concern isn't that people are smoking marijuana," she said. "Not to say there aren't concerns associated with that, but that is not what is driving it. The concern is, we see some patterns that develop as part of drug trafficking."


If it was legal, it wouldn't be "trafficking"-it would be people paying taxes. They keep busting people who are tring to be legal, pay taxes and make their payroll. Like any good American small business.

Simple. Ignore the feds. End.

Not true

the Fed gov is a terrorist org. Time to arrest thesde criminals and take our country back

It would not surprise me in the least. As bizarre as it might seem this could be the issue that initiates a real battle between the Feds and State rights.

i was for this bill until i saw an article stating if for some reason you are arrested or questioned, they will test your blood to see if you have used marijuana. since it stays in the body for 30 days you are fucked even if you hadn't smoked in weeks, i may have forgotten several details since i read this article hours after the bill passed

The state will no longer enforce it. If you wanna send in feds to bust weed smokers, go ahead. Just more proof that the federal government is completely out of control.

As far as getting fucked with by local pigs, it's fucking over you fucking socialist piece of shit.

what the people who live on taxes, ie. gov. don't get is that we don't ask them for permission for things. we the people, by the people. it's state issues and people have spoken. this is easilly forgotten cause so many cattle live off them but moms and dads and teens are tired of hiding because of something that's good for humanity. grow up and fuck off:-D

that better not be true. gov = terrorists

"Regardless of any changes in state law, including the change that will go into effect on Dec. 6 in Washington state, growing, selling or possessing any amount of marijuana remains illegal under federal law. Members of the public are also advised to remember that it remains against federal law to bring any amount of marijuana onto federal property, including all federal buildings, national parks and forests, military installations and courthouses.""


Yeah, no shit! We all know this. Essentially it has been taken out of the Feds hands though. They will have to get the "Homeland Security Police" up and running to do anything about it. While I have seen their nazi patrol cars, on a few occasions, it's not gonna be enough..... I'm sure they'll try, and I'm sure they'll waste a shit ton of our money trying to fight the will of the people, but that's what happens when you live in the United Nazi States of America.

hello paranoia !!!

Smoke a joint and calm the fuck down. I'm sure you consider yourself a conservative as you sit there wishing to control other grown people's lives..... You fucking hypocrite.

No Shit!

No, incarcerate them.

Statistically more Black Americans per capita are arrested and convicted for Marijuana posession.

Obama is a sound bite whore. He weighs in on events like Trayvon Martin or his professor friend being asked for ID after breaking into his own house, but actually reducing the Black prison population is not something the Oreo would change.

Actually they make money putting people in jail and ruining lives. Sounds like a great plan to me. Thumbs down. I like weed

Please don't give them any ideas even if you think they won't, they are always looking for new ways to waste our tax dollars

fuck a bunch of feds

yeah like clinton bush obama make the decisions...

you're going to have socialized euro medicine.

youre not going to have pot legal. med or otherwise.

the CFR owners won't allow it.

you got no more say so than a box of noodles.

feds can't legalize cause they are owned by the Mexican drug cartels
