Dear Media, Please Ask Obama to Explain His Escalating War on Medical MarijuanaScott Morgan Under this administration, the idea of raiding state-approved medical marijuana facilities went from being not a good use of our resources, to being a very popular pastime among federal police and prosecutors. Theyve been going completely berserk for the better part of a year now, and while they werent exactly diplomatic before that, theyve been acting lately like they won some kind of drug war lottery and are trying to spend all the money before they die. Raiding Richard Lee is arguably the most audacious play the feds have ever made in the War on Medical Marijuana for a few reasons. Hes in a wheelchair and exemplifies the image of a legitimate medical marijuana patient/provider. He runs a school that promotes professionalism in the medical cannabis industry. And most importantly, he was the driving force behind the Prop 19 campaign that nearly legalized marijuana in California. I could spend all afternoon speculating as to why the Obama Administration would choose to escalate a policy thats already so deeply unpopular with the American people. But I shouldnt have to. Its Obamas turn to tell us what the hell happened here, and its the responsibility of the press to demand an answer.
