FEDERAL VS. STATE LAW

Respect State Laws on Pot

Attorney General Eric Holder is merely saying the feds won't be
aggressive in prosecuting marijuana offenses. He's not changing
federal law but ignoring it.

By not acting, the Obama administration is effectively kicking the can
down the road until the next administration comes in and wipes out any
perceived progress made on this issue.
