A invasão médica do marijuana levanta a pergunta: Que é política de Obama?

Domingo, março 22o, 2009

WASHINGTON - uma invasão recente da administração do Enforcement da droga em um lago sul Tahoe, Califórnia, dispensary médico do marijuana showcases um dos conflitos legais herdados pela administração de Obama.

O janeiro. a invasão 22 perto da beira de Califórnia-Nevada ocorreu dois dias depois que Obama fêz exame do escritório e antes que equipe do departamento da justiça do presidente novo própria estêve no lugar. A invasão assemelhou-se a muitos conduzidos durante a administração de Bush, mas clashed seemingly com oposição da campanha de Obama a tais táticas.

“Eu penso do conceito básico de usar o marijuana médico para as mesmas finalidades e com os mesmos controles que outras drogas prescritas pelos doutores (é) inteiramente apropriados,” jornal de Tribune do correio de Oregon dito Obama em março. “Eu não estou indo usar recursos do departamento da justiça tentar circumvent leis do estado nesta edição.”

Agora, citing o episode de Tahoe, as activistas médicas do marijuana e os libertarians civis estão incitando Obama para congelar as invasões futuras. Alguma esperança, também, que Obama inverterá uma decisão da administração de Bush e deixará a produção legal adicional do marijuana ocorrer.

Muito no menos, os oficiais das activistas e do enforcement de lei igualmente estão esperando o esclarecimento sobre o que é mudado no mundo do marijuana médico. Isto poderia fazer exame do tempo.

“Nós somos sympathetic ao fato que a administração é justa começando seus pés na terra,” spokesman Dan Bernath do projeto da política do Marijuana dito em quinta-feira, “mas nesta mostra que necessita apontar os povos que respeitos seus princípios e políticas.”

O suporte de Eric do Attorney General Nominee não foi confirmado ainda pelo Senate, e seu deputado proposto não teve ainda um hearing de confirmação. A frase “marijuana médico” nunca veio acima durante o hearing extensivo do suporte, nem na continuação escrita perguntas perguntou por senators.

Obama tem para nomear ainda um administrador permanente de DEA, embora o administrador ativo Michele Leonhart é considerado um candidato potencial e seria a primeira mulher Africano-Americana para funcionar a agência. Obama, do mesmo modo, tem para nomear ainda uma cabeça nova do escritório branco da casa da política nacional do controle da droga.

“O czar novo da droga poderia recomendar as políticas que são mais restritivas, ou mais lenient,” conta notável Ruzzamenti, diretor da área traficando central de droga da intensidade elevada do vale em Califórnia.

Com a equipe de funcionários federal financiada em Sacramento e em Fresno, os esforços centrais do antidrug das coordenadas do vale HIDTA em uma área de 10 condados. It participated in a high-profile investigation into the California Healthcare Collective, a Modesto-based medical marijuana dispensary whose founders were sentenced last year to long prison terms on charges of running a criminal enterprise.

“The ones that are targeted are the ones making millions and millions of dollars,” Ruzzamenti said.

Federal agents during the past two years similarly have raided organizations in Bakersfield, Vallejo, San Mateo and other California cities. The most recent raid, on South Lake Tahoe’s Patient-to-Patient Collective, seized five to 10 pounds of marijuana and a small amount of cash, according to police reports. No arrests were made.

By one count, the DEA has raided more than 60 medical marijuana facilities nationwide during the past two years, including a July raid in Seattle in which agents seized hundreds of patient files. The ongoing raids underscore a running conflict between state and federal laws.

Through a 1996 ballot measure, approved by California voters with a 55 percent to 45 percent margin, patients can obtain medical marijuana with doctors’ permission. Ten other states, including Washington and Nevada, have followed California’s lead.

Several hundred marijuana dispensaries are now publicly listed by the California branch of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, with names such as High Flight Deliveries in Stockton, Mr. Purple Skunk in Modesto and Earth Meds in Tulare County.

These dispensaries, and their counterparts in other states, have been on thin ice following a 2005 Supreme Court ruling that empowered federal authorities to prosecute marijuana purveyors even in states that permit medical marijuana use. Bush’s drug czar, John Walters, championed such prosecutions.

Leonhart, a week before Bush left office, likewise took a hard line in issuing a 118-page decision rejecting a DEA administrative law judge’s recommendation to allow a University of Massachusetts researcher to grow higher-quality medicinal marijuana. The American Civil Liberties Union and medical marijuana proponents hope this last-minute rejection, coming two years after the judge issued a positive recommendation, is put on hold until Obama’s team is fully in place.
