Update:White House: DEA Raids Not Authorized.

"Candy is dandy, Liquor is quicker, Pot is not" - Ogden Nash

Quoting a note I got from one of the longtime trolls whom I respect within the field of his expertise and lonnnnnnng experience... but who seems seriously clueless in other areas... "Illegal? I wasn't accusing you of anything. And I thought the new law made it legal."

As the Head Whirls.  Check out the linked article... an excerpt...

"...Less expected, however, were the actions of the Justice Department last week when U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration officials raided the office of a California medical marijuana provider, as well as two medical grow houses in Colorado. (The possession of marijuana for medical purposes is legal in both states, and nonprofit organizations may legally dispense marijuana to authorized patients under California law.)

The busts outraged many drug-law-reform advocates, who were quick to point out that the new president had pledged on the campaign trail not to use Justice Department resources to circumvent state medical marijuana laws. Many news outlets also were quick to voice criticism toward the new administration for continuing with the federal raids, noting that these aggressive actions possess little to no public support.

Of course, it is not yet known whether Obama directly authorized the DEA raids..."

We're not out of the Weed Patch by a lonnnnnng way, folks.
