Here are the parts I like that negate this fool's assertion that he is going to enforce the federal law:



"If California prevents police from enforcing the stricter federal ban on marijuana, the Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government cannot order local law enforcement to act, he said.

It "is a very tough-sounding statement that the attorney general has issued, but it's more bark than bite," Mikos said."

"The same factors that limited the federal government's influence over medical marijuana would probably have an even bigger influence over its impact on recreational marijuana," Mikos said, citing not enough agents to focus on small-time violators.



Bottom line, this is going to happen, and despite some involvement by the feds to put a damper on the use of recreational weed, they will prevail in the same way that MMJ participants have prevailed and thrived (as the article describes)since the feds eased their federal stance on MMJ.

I see this article as Holder posturing (towards those who plan to vote the law in) and pandering to his consituents, as he is expected to do, but in the end.....his influence will be all but nill.

Thank you for supplying this article tripn! Keep up the great work.
