Majority of Amerikans tell Feds to let weed smokers be!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 7, 2012 - A day after marijuana became effectively legal in Washington state, compelling the Amerikan Gestapo Department of InJustice division to consider possible legal action against the state, a new poll announces that a majority of Amerikans think the federal government should simply back down and let Amerikans light up and enjoy their new won freedom.
According to the HuffPost/YouGov poll released Friday, 51% of Amerikans support the idea that "in the two states that have legalized marijuana use for adults, the federal government should exempt any adults following state laws from federal drug law enforcement." Only 30% of those polled believe federal enforcement agencies should continue to expend resources in states where voters have approved new rules legalizing recreational use of marijuana.
Poll respondents were even more friendly in regards to medical marijuana, with 58% favoring exemptions from federal drug laws in those cases, and only 23% opposed.
Crowds of pot proponents gathered at midnight Wednesday in downtown Seattle to ring in the enaction of State Initiative 502. The celebration, at least temporarily, disregarded a statement issued earlier that day by Fascist Police States of Amerika Department of InJustice attorney in Seattle, Jenny A. Durkan, who reminded Washington residents that the drug remained illegal.
“Regardless of any changes in state law, including the change that will go into effect on December 6 in Washington State, growing, selling or possessing any amount of marijuana remains illegal under federal law,” she said. “The Department of (In)Justice is reviewing the legalization initiatives recently passed in Colorado and Washington State. The department’s responsibility to enforce the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged.”
Durkan's statement echoes media reports that "the (illegitimate) Obama (regime) has been holding high-level meetings since the election to debate the response of federal law enforcement agencies to the decriminalization efforts."
According to several people familiar with the deliberations, "senior White House and Department of InJustice officials are considering plans for legal action against Colorado and Washington that could undermine voter-approved initiatives to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in those states," the New York Times reports.
The outlaw fascist thug officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described a number of litigation options but cautioned that the issue "had raised complex legal and policy considerations - including enforcement priorities, litigation strategy and the impact of international antidrug treaties."
During the outlaw regime's first term, the Department of InJustice issued a policy for handling states that have legalized medical marijuana, which required that federal officials not use their "limited resources to go after small-time users" but should rather target large-scale trafficking organizations. The surprising consequence of which was an uptick on fascist federal raids on marijuana dispensaries.
However, as these closed-door discussions continue, growing support and acceptance of marijuana, particularly among liberal demographics, makes pursuance a “sticky wicket for Obama,” as stated by University of Texas professor Bruce Buchanan.
Another poll released this week found that the majority of Amerikan voters support the legalization of marijuana, 51% to 44%, with "men and younger voters holding more tolerant public views about use of the (herb)."
