Why the States and the Feds Will Never Play Nice Regarding Weed
Obama's recent string of dispensary raids has unleashed a swarm of criticism that continues to grow—and not just among talking heads like Barney Frank and Jimmy Kimmel. Time writer Michael Scherer, explains why the Feds are cracking down when we were promised they'd lighten up.
Despite Obama's promises during the 2008 campaign, federal prosecutors have lost faith in the ability of state and local officials to control a booming commercial industry for a drug that is still illegal to grow, possess or sell under federal law. As a result, a once broad exemption from prosecution for medical marijuana providers in state where it's legal has been narrowed to a tiny one.
Furthermore, the fact that state laws clash with federal law in 16 states and the District of Columbia makes it all but impossible for state and federal law enforcement to work together cooperatively to develop a functional system for what Obama still claims to support: access to medicinal marijuana for the legitimately ill in states that approve of the practice. So the nation is left with an uneasy status quo: The federal government is not trying to eliminate medical marijuana altogether, but it has decided that it cannot stand for the commercialization or large scale production of marijuana for the stated purpose of helping the sick, even when that production is technically within the bounds of state law.
