U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced yesterday that "federal authorities will stop raiding dispensaries in states where medical marijuana is legal," reports the Daily News.
Two LA City Councilmembers, Bill Rosendahl and Dennis Zine, support the decision, and hope this will permit local officials to "better regulate dispensaries in the city." Currently there is a tension between state and local governments who allow marijuana to be dispensed to prescription-holders--under Proposition 215 legalized in California in 1996--and the federal government, under whose auspices the drug is illegal.
Drug Enforcement Agency officers have raided several Los Angeles dispensaries, "seizing cash and pot but not making any arrests," in the operation.

it's about time!! :)
Good news!
Our tax dollars doing more than harrassing patients with Dr. recommendations to use medical mj!
Go Obama!!
Okay news I guess, but only half the job is done. The LAPD and the district attorneys office are still going building cases against and raiding legally running dispensaries while successfully keeping it out of the media.
Headlines like this all over the news seem like a big distraction from the actual raids, cases and issues going on in the MMJ community. Basically, don't be fooled that it is now safe, enjoy access to these dispensaries it while it lasts.
It's a great day to be alive
Go, Obama, Go!
Another campaign promise kept.
Yay! Thanks for posting about this. And @truthfullybored, good points...
It's a fine day in California... Thank You President Obama. We were turning blue holding our breath. Now we can breathe freedom. President Obama is very honest and truthful. No hidden budget items or agendas like Bush learned from his buddies Hannity and big fat Rush Limburger--a blowhard wingnut. Trickle down economics. Trickle down my ass?
