Drug Policy

Given the Obama Administration some very bad advice. The recent crack downs, by the DEA, DOJ, and IRS on the voter-sanctioned medical marijuana clinics means that the state of California clearly in Obama's column before these strikes, may not swing so easily for the president.

Obama needs to consider the fate of Kamela Harris. In Nov, 2010, Ms Harris should have been a shoo in for the position of State's Attorney. During the election, she put out a statement that could be read as being unfavorable to the legalize marijuana forces.

So rather than an imposing nine percent lead, she had to have the votes recounted before she could assume the highest legal position in California. And she was running against a very unpopular Republican candidate.
