Jury Nullification should be in the lexicon of every marijuana law reform activist. That, IMHO, is probably the best way to send the message to our lawmakers. If the courts no longer get convictions... then hmmmmmmmm... I think your right… Jury Nullification should be in the lexicon of every marijuana law reform activist.

Here's the thing. Obama is kind of taking the "states rights" position. Therefore if the CA DA does what he says he's going to do, and he can convince whomever needs convincing that dispensaries are operating outside the intent of the law, Obama and the justice department may actually enter CA to bust the "evil" pot users, while leaving the "law abiding" pot users untouched. That will make a mess. While many folks may see Obama's memo as a positive move, my guess, and its only a guess, is that the dispensaries that the CA DA targets will get crushed by both CA law enforcement and the justice department. Obama's guidelines might actually support the CA DA's position. Sounds like the drug war is getting a shot in the arm by CA locals. :guns: :rotflmao: It looks like Obama is trying. It looks like he wants to overcome. That's what worries me. Bush looked like he was protecting Americans. Bill "didn't inhale" Clinton looked like he might take a gentler approach toward the issue. It "looks" like we have real momentum, but if Obama changes his mind, we could have a really bad day. :thumbdown: Obama is, at one time, the greatest example of what somebody who has smoked pot might still accomplish and the poster boy for quitting marijuana. Its a toss up. Iono. :stars: OK. Here’s the thing. Obama is kind of taking the “states rights” position.
