Call President Obama and urge that he issue an immediate suspension to all federal funds used to investigate, intimidate, arrest, and prosecute individuals who use or provide medical cannabis in accordance with their state laws. Call the White House at (202) 456-1111 and say:
“Hi, my name is _____________.
On Thursday, the Drug Enforcement Agency raided a medical cannabis dispensary in Tahoe, California. The dispensary was raided by DEA despite numerous statements by President Obama saying he would end federal interference with state medical cannabis laws.
I’m very concerned about outgoing DEA officials undermining these state laws and aggressively threatening innocent Americans. I’m also concerned about DEA taking action that is an affront to President Obama’s position.
I am pleading with President Obama to issue an immediate suspension of all federal funds used to investigate, intimidate, arrest, or prosecute individuals who use or provide medical cannabis in accordance with their state laws. We are being threatened by our own DEA. Please help us.”
President Obama’s position on medical marijuana is no secret. This is the single most important action you have been asked to take this year. We need President Obama’s support. Once you‚ve made this phone call, please forward this message to friends and family. Then visit www.whitehouse.gov/contact to copy and paste the above message.
Instead of aggression i think we all need active, and deliberate diligence, and patience on this issue. Obviously the tide has changed in our favor, and we now have the golden opportunity to end this prohibition by talking with everyone we know and shedding the light on the truth that can no longer be suppressed. The government has ruined too many lives to get away with it any longer, we need to stand up together as one, as they did to end us, and finally end this.

Who is the president here in the usa,the dea or obama? Makes one wonder!
Legelize marijuana
You have to legelize marijuana . its the best medicine for anything
everyone who has yet to lob a call to the Big O needs to do it today.
How much money is spent to sign a document saying Feds back off of the medical Marijuana dispensaries and stop using tax payers money to strong arm an ill-scheduled drug, Mr. President?
Tim, I think that’s easy to say when it’s not your business/livelihood. What if you relied on that medicine and you ran out today?
Yes Mr.O deserves some patients, but he is the President now and a he is responseable for the DEA now! He can stop this with the strike of a pen, now is the time to do it.
Calm down, people! He hasn’t been in office a week and he’s got bigger fish to fry. Let the man get settled and get to the top priorities first. I’m sure he’ll get to the DEA once the bulk of cleaning up Bush’s mess is done. I don’t hold him responsible for this and neither should you. Let the man do his thing, okay? He’ll get to us.
I think that President Obama is the first president in a long time to have a level head on his shoulders, and this is a new advantage for the movement. I believe that the time has come for the American government to stop funding myths and lies about marijuana.We deserve to have our tax dollars used to our benefit, our agenda, not the government’s. Why should alcohol, cigaretts, and perscription pills be legal when they are the cause of death for so many people? They spend billions to promote a drug free America yet the biggest problem is not illegal but legal drugs. We hear and see of more pill related crimes than marijuana related. We need to take a stand and say enough is enough. We demand legalization now!
“NO MENTION by the Obama Administration”
No results when you searched For “DEA”.
NO news on his ONDCP picks either.
Ever think Mr.O has somthing up his sleve?
I think there may be some changes to “Federal Drug Inc.” ??NO ONDCP???NO DEA??? something.
Just waiting for the best time to bring it up??
I think we should also be calling about his lack of following through with change.gov, and listening to the people on the legalize marijuana categories. If he is so open to what the people want, why does he ignore us when we take a stand?
Yes I know there are serious issues going on in the country, but we could raise billions in tax revenue, create jobs, and not to mention save billions more not having the police and DEA arresting people for smoking or growing it! it really is a no brainer!
It won’t solve the economic crisis, but it will certainly help us as a country to rebuild, and it will help the thousands of out of work Americans and small business have steady work again, with not only marijuana but industrial hemp and all that it can do.
whitehouse.gov/contract can only be 500 characters.. :(
[...] Call or e-mail the White House and tell Obama’s staff that our new President must honor his campaign pledge not to use Justice Department resources to circumvent state medical marijuana laws. [...]
obama is a liar! =’[
Doesn’t the DEA seem to be acting like the guards at Auschwitz in the dying days of WWII?!!
..destroying as much as they can as the war turns against them.
