On Wednesday, February 25th, Attorney General Eric Holder made an off the cuff but important statement concerning medical marijuana while speaking at a press conference devoted to operations against the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel. Obama's Attorney General declared that ending medical marijuana raids is now American policy.
This was in response to a question posed by a reporter who asked, "shortly after the inauguration there were raids on California medical marijuana dispensaries...do you expect these to continue?" The reporter noted that the President had promised to end the raids in his campaign.
Holder responded, "What the President said during the campaign...is consistent with what we will be doing here in law enforcement. He was my boss in the campaign....He is my boss now. What he said in the campaign is now American policy." You can hear this for yourself in the C-SPAN video, the question appears about 25 minutes into the press conference found on the C-Span video.
