President Now "Enthusiastic" About Medical Marijuana?

President Obama has spent the last six years refusing to take any steps to exercise his Administration's Congressionally granted authority to reschedule marijuana.  For the past six years, the Administration unleashed armed federal assault teams on California medical dispensaries -- a practice that stopped only when Congress prohibited it.  Through the IRS and the bank regulatory authorities, the Administration for the past six years has done whatever it can it make medical and recreational marijuana business as difficult and dangerous as possible.

So now he goes on television and will apparently announce his "enthusiastic support" for MMJ.   That would actually mean something if he were, for example, to actually request the Attorney General to start the rescheduling process for cannabis -- but it sounds like that's not in the cards.

Sometimes I'm not sure whether having this President say he's on your side is really that great a thing.
