Despite Obama's pledge to end raids on individuals who are acting in accordance with local medical marijuana laws, when Ms. Greenfield informed the DEA agent in charge that she was a legal cultivator under the sheriff's program, the agent's comment was "I don't care what the sheriff says."
Ms. Greenfield called the raid a "slap in the face of Mendocino's government." I think it's a slap in the face to law and liberty everywhere.

There are many persuasive arguments on why America should legalize medical marijuana, and the reasons are sound. However, even though many millions of Americans smoke a glass pipe or hit a bong it has not translated into real political pressure on the people who can change the laws. The last three presidents were admitted pot users and the same is probably true of the first three presidents as well. In the end it is up to us to be public about our choices and to collectively voice our opinions.

One of the things I love about California is the potential to cut through the political BS and take the issue straight to the people. It happened before in 1996; I'm trying my damnedest to help it happen again in 2010.
