From a press conference today:
Today came word that newly installed U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder would stop the practice established by the Bush administration of raiding legally licensed medical marijuana dispensaries.
The Drug Enforcement Agency will now cease the raids that have continued, according to reports, even after Bush left office. Holder said Obama’s campaign promise to stop the raids is “now American policy.”
The Huffington Post has more. And you can watch the whole press conference on CSPAN.
It is small, but good news nonetheless and delivers on an Obama campaign promise to stop these raids.
