Yes, regulatory issues have major importance. The recent Pelosi comments about the Federal government respecting State's rights concerning MMJ should be a precursor to change.

Pelosi is stuck with a lot of angry constituents who are upset about the Feds obstructing their right to obtain effective medication. Now, she has to make a professional move rather than just say, "Oh, my opinion is on the record."

Perhaps, the most tender spot of all is the current Federal attitude toward Veterans with PTSD. Is the suicide rate of Veterans with PTSD really 25% higher than the rate of all battlefield deaths? Shocking statistics, if true. Can we possibly move toward a humanitarian solution? Ron Paul claims MMJ has proven to be an effective treatment for PTSD. Ignoring this issue will not make it go away. CBIS also has something to say about an effective treatment for PTSD.

It looks like we are seeing continued activism from the States on the MMJ issue since the Feds have apparently chosen repression rather than dialogue. I get the feeling many other States will act to clarify their MMJ laws before November since the Feds have identified themselves as the opposition. People are waiting to see real change from their leaders. If not, their voices will clearly be heard in November. Bizarre to imagine a professional politician believes losing millions, and millions of votes is a good strategy to get elected. The status quo approach does not appear to be working.

Best Wishes
