I guess I haven't been paying attention enough before now. I just found out about this, even though it has been out there for almost a year.
It seems to me that this is about as relevant to the MMJ/decrim/re-legalization efforts as any individual state activity. Maybe even more, since if this gets fixed, the DEA will leave the 14 MMJ states alone, and more states will come on board.
Considering that Washington DC has MMJ laws, our representatives hanging out in the nation's Capital should be fixing this federal foolishness.
This needs support. http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/ is where NORML has a "change the laws, write your politicians" link where I learned of this. It costs nothing to send an email to your state reps. It's all pre-written.
