Attorney General Holder Warns Colorado, Obama Condemns Voter-Approved Marijuana Freedom

On March, 6, 2013, Attorney General Eric Holden testified before the Senate Judiciary committee concerning the future of marijuana in Colorado.

Despite the fact marijuana is not a narcotic, is not addictive and has been proven as a beneficial medicine, the International Narcotics Control Board, an extension of the United Nations (UN), is pressuring Holder take actions against “the people” of Colorado and Washington, before the legalization of marijuana takes root.

This not only threatens the liberties and health freedom of millions of voters in Colorado and Washington, it is an insult to the hundreds of millions of people who voted for medical marijuana legalization in 17 other states, including the District of Columbia. Should this committee move to condemn marijuana legalization and affirm federal authority to enforce the Controlled Substances Act, it could stop hundreds of thousands of patients from receiving natural relief from pain and disease indefinitely.

The best solution I’ve heard so far comes from Representative Jared Polis, D-Colorado, who suggests stripping the federal preemption of marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act enacted in 1970. Bottom line is the states are the ones that bear the financial burden of prohibition, not the federal government and the Obama administration is refusing to look at the evidence-based science. By definition, neither marijuana nor hemp should be in the same Scheduled 1 classification as heroin. Problem solved.
