Default Obama considering an anti medical marijuana republican for drug czar?
I hope to hell Obama has more sense than this, especially after Obama promised he would end the federal govt from raiding and arresting medical marijuana users.

From Politico:

Rep. Jim Ramstad's name is bouncing around as a possible "drug czar" — the name given the head of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. Ramstad, a Minnesota Republican, is in recovery himself and has been a longtime proponent of treatment for drug abuse.

Along with Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), he has been an advocate for mental health parity — the push to treat mental illness with the same effort as physical illness. Ramstad has consistently voted against medical marijuana in Congress, opposing an effort to prevent the federal government from raiding or arresting medical marijuana clubs in states where it is legal.

"It’s gratifying to hear Jim’s name being mentioned for drug czar," said Ramstad spokesman Dean Peterson. "Jim has worked in a bipartisan way for 27 years on anti-drug efforts in Congress and the Minnesota Senate. And as a recovering person, he’s worked every day to help those suffering the ravages of chemical addiction."

If he really wanted change he needs to go outside the box and find qualified professionals never having any part of the system or politics.Start with people who don't know the system and have predetermined relationships and agendas.
Be well, Be safe. Herbologist.

New Chief of Justice Holder? The guy is a joke. He is only out for himself, and he will crush any movement for patients like myself of just the normal herb lover. Be aware, and watch carefully. He is also trying to bring up the minimums for punishment.
