Obama’s First Good Step Regarding Federal Raids
February 12th, 2009 by Perry

In response to federal raids on several Los Angeles-area dispensaries, White House Spokesman Nick Shapiro said, “federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws,” and as the Obama cabinet takes shape, he expects new policies to reflect the new prioritization.
It could have been smoke-and-mirrors political gobbledygook; granted. However, a sliver is more than anyone would have ever hoped for from the previous administration.
It’s also, as the Alternet blog points out, a good first step.
