Giving credit where it is due.
I prefer the Republican stance over the Democratic regarding state's rights in the case of cannabis legalization. I am quite surprised that Obama receives so little credit for the fact that the federal government hasn't involved itself with the legalization of cannabis for recreational use in Colorado, Washington, Alaska and the District of Columbia. Several states, including California legalized medicinal use in the 90's but the federal government never changed it's stance until Obama directed his dawgs to lay off of state compliant patients and growers.
I really hope that this continues or better yet, that cannabis is rescheduled under the controlled substances act so that we won't have to worry if a GOP administration takes office. The remarkable thing is that it is a big government Democrat keeping the federal goons from raiding our gardens and we have every reason to worry that a GOP administration would reverse the policy even though state's rights is supposed to be a republican thing. This is evident in recent history.
Remember, federal law has not changed regarding cannabis and with as much effort as it takes to flick a booger, the executive branch could crack down.
