The Big Bad Fed

Barack Obama is a hypocrite. Here is a man, who before becoming the president of the United States, openly showed disapproval for marijuana prohibition. Just weeks ago, Colorado and Washington fully legalized marijuana for recreational use, becoming the first two states to end the unconstitutional prohibition. Rather than having the support of the Obama administration, these states are now at the mercy of the federal government which is already working towards bringing actions against these states. Ever since election day, the Obama administration has been holding high level meetings to determine the actions that the federal government should make against these states. One option the federal government is considering, is suing the states on the grounds that any efforts for states to regulate marijuana are preempted by federal law. The fed strikes again. Denying these states of their rights and preparing to spend millions to enforce a ridiculous prohibition that never should have been put into law in the first place. The irony in all of this is, is that the majority of the hundreds of thousands of marijuana users in Washington and Colorado, voted the president in for a second term.
