[T]he position that Obama is now taking on medical marijuana—go after producers and sellers but leave patients alone—is no different from the position his predecessor took. In fact, Obama’s crackdown on medical marijuana is, if anything, more aggressive than Bush’s, with more frequent raids, IRS audits that threaten to put dispensaries out of business, forfeiture threats to dispensaries’ landlords, and direct interference in the legislative process by U.S. attorneys. This is certainly not what voters thought they were getting when they heard Obama repeatedly promise to change course on this issue.
How’s that hope and change working out for you?
Meet the new boss… worse than the old boss.
