Also, according to the Obama Administration, they “will not seek to arrest medical marijuana users and suppliers as long as they conform to state laws, under new policy guidelines to be sent to federal prosecutors Monday.” Of course this does not allow medical marijuana users to cover up for illegal drug transaction for they may still be prosecuted by the government. I believe this a step to legalizing the use of medical marijuana for a good cause. Now people with serious illnesses and their caregivers cannot be prosecuted for by the federal resources as long as they comply with the laws given in their state for medical marijuana.
