Romney Proves Himself to Be Irrelevant, Vows to Fight Medical Marijuana

Recently on the campaign trail Mitt Romney said that he would fight marijuana legalization "tooth and nail".  During a town hall meeting in the "Live Free or Die" state, New Hampshire, Romney used the same tired argument that marijuana leads to a "culture of drugs" in young people. 



This argument is increasingly becoming ridiculous, and the voting public knows it; all except the probably inebriated paid staffers clapping in the background.

Oakland Protesters Tell Obama to 'Fight Crime, Not Cannabis'

Several hundred -- perhaps as many as a thousand -- medical marijuana patients, providers, and supporters took to the streets of Oakland Monday afternoon to put President Obama on notice that they are extremely unhappy with his administration's crackdown on dispensaries. The president arrived at the Fox Theater in downtown Oakland for a fundraising event later Monday evening.

The crowd was up in arms over the federal offensive that has seen hundreds of California dispensaries shuttered by threats of asset forfeiture or criminal prosecution since the state's four US Attorneys announced the joint offensive last fall. But it was even more incensed by the May raids on Richard Lee's Oaksterdam University and last week's issuance of asset forfeiture lawsuits aimed Harborside Health Center, the nation's largest medical marijuana dispensary.
