Oregon Medical Marijuana Crackdown-con't

Eugene Weekly : Lead Story : 11.23.11

Medical marijuana â€œhas been incredibly important to AIDS patients trying to keep weight on and stay nourished,â€ Younce says. â€œOther appetite stimulants don't work as well.â€

Younce also sees medical marijuana used to counteract negative side effects of other medications taken by her patients. Well aware of the disconnect between state and federal law concerning medical marijuana, Younce addresses the recent government push. â€œIt's unfortunate there needs to be some new crackdown,â€ she says. â€œIt'd be great if the feds and the state could actually negotiate with each other, instead of putting law-abiding citizens at risk of criminal charges.â€

A negotiation of this sort would seem to be in the best interest of the feds, the states, law enforcement and the citizens, but the Obama administration has yet to address the issue head on. In fact, that the raids on growers and dispensaries have increased under Obama's presidency (particularly in California) appears to signal an opposite trend. If you are a medical marijuana patient, it sure looks like Obama is coming for your ganja. It's harvest season, but right now the only thing the DOJ wants you to smoke is your Thanksgiving turkey.
