SOME CLARITY ON POT USE
President Barack Obama broke the silence late last week on how the
federal government will respond to voter-approved measures in
Washington and Colorado that legalized adult recreational use of marijuana.
The president said it is not a priority of the federal government to
prosecute recreational marijuana use in the two states.
Perhaps more importantly, the president acknowledged it's time for
Congress, the Justice Department and others to tackle the question of
how to reconcile a federal law that still says marijuana possession is
a federal offense with state laws that say it isn't.
