In more simple terms, “The administration also issued new guidelines for all U.S. attorneys on the dynamic issue of marijuana law, recommending that they only focus on prosecuting major cases”. This is targeted to the issue of marijuana in those states because these states have legalized the drug, though that still means it is not covered by federal law. I for one don’t believe the legalization is the worst thing that could happen but in a technical sense it is still not legalized! Yes, Colorado and also Washington have legalized it in there state but at the end of the day our president is the one who could truly... (to be cont.)
