President Barack Obama should keep his campaign promise from 23 March, 2008 "I'm not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue".
We ask the Administration to stop:
• Lawsuits against property owner renting to dispensaries.
• The IRS denying tax-paying dispensaries reasonable expense deductions.
• The Dept. of Treasury browbeating banks to close accounts of marijuana collectives.
• The BATF denying medical marijuana patients’ right to have firearms.
• The DEA turning down a petition to reschedule marijuana for medical use, ignoring extensive scientific evidence of marijuana’s efficacy.
• NIDA blocking a proposed study on medical marijuana for PTSD.
