My wife and I are growers. She has her recommendation and we are politically active in supporting the cause for decriminalization of marijuana. I have spoken before my county's Board of Supervisors and have been an outspoken critic in said meetings and in our local paper. So much so that one of the supes tried (unsuccessfully)to get me fired from my job. My wife is our county's representative for Collective Patient Resources, an organization that helps those in need of MMJ.
Anyway, the Fed will not be deterred from cracking down on marijuana. This administration has never said it would decriminalize marijuana. In fact, there have been more "busts" in the first 3 years of this administration than in all of Bush' 8 years!!!
There's too much money to be had for law enforcement, prisons and their respective special interests. If the "War On Drugs" were to be called off, a lot of pink slips would have to be handed out as well as a lot of taxpayer dollars would go away.
