US Pot laws somewhat relaxed

A new Obama administration policy loosening the guidelines on the federal prosecution of medical marijuana users signaled that users had less to fear from federal agents. Still their suppliers are left to contend with a tangled mess of state laws and regulations.

A three-page memo from Deputy Attorney General David Ogden, affirmed a policy disclosed earlier this year, "It is unlikely to be an efficient use of limited federal resources to prosecute individuals with cancer or other serious illnesses who use marijuana as part of a recommended treatment program." Rules vary in the 13 states that have medical-marijuana laws on the books, but the common theme is that the seriously ill who have recommendations from doctors to use marijuana as a treatment shouldn't fear arrest.
