President Obama: End Your War on Cannabis Patients

President Obama: End Your War on Cannabis Patients
December 15th, 2011 / Erik Altieri / NORML




Over the past several months, the Federal government escalated its war against medical marijuana to previously unseen heights. The Drug War machine kicked into high gear starting in October when the IRS began applying an obscure part of the US tax code, meant to target drug cartels, against medical dispensaries in attempts to shut them down. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms joined in the fight when it issued a heavy handed one page memo to every gun and ammunition dealer nationwide informing them that they must, by law, deny sales to lawful medical cannabis patients.

The hammer really fell when the US Attorneys for the four federal districts in California formally announced a crackdown on medical marijuana dispensing operations and began issuing memos threatening operators and landlords of these properties. Threats were even waged against news publications who ran advertisements for medical marijuana businesses. All of this in an environment where over 70% of Americans support medical use of cannabis, the country’s largest physicians group endorsed full legalization, and at least four governors are petitioning the DEA to reclassify marijuana based on overwhelming evidence of its medicinal value. Unfortunately, It doesn’t appear an end is in sight as new threats of intervention are looming in Colorado.

That is why today, in cooperation with other reform organizations, NORML is encouraging you to contact President Obama and tell him to end his administrations war on cannabis patients. Click here to use NORML’s Take Action Center to directly email the below letter to the White House and tell President Obama to stand by his promise to not interfere with state medical marijuana laws.

I understand, but Obama ain't doing shit.

If he does something its purely out of re-election motivations.

This was a pre-made letter that I agree with completely but I decided to add my own words. I am a grown adult, not yet old enough to drink but old enough to be prescribed oxycodones for my back pain. It causes papilations, severe sweating and addiction. It is seriously ridiculous how a grown man cannot select a safer medicine... But rather I have to spend 400 OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY ON A BOTTLE OF OXYCODONES. Please understand; the pharmaceutical companies do not deserve my suffering event though they are providing your campaign with millions of dollars. Hopefully you read this personally.


Dear President Obama:

I urge you to end your war on medical marijuana patients. More than 70 percent of Americans are in favor of legal medical marijuana. 16 states and the District of Columbia have passed medical marijuana legislation.

At least four governors are petitioning the DEA to reclassify marijuana based on overwhelming evidence that it has medicinal value. While this reclassification is pending, your Administration should respect -- not attack --state medical marijuana laws that provide patients with safe and reliable access to this medicine.

Given the fiscal crisis our country finds itself in, it doesn't make sense to waste federal tax dollars and law enforcement resources interfering with state medical marijuana laws.
