Obama Administration Ends Raids of Medical Mariuana Dispensaries

President Obama has finally done something right. Attorney General Eric Holder has announced yesterday that the Justice Department will no longer be raiding Medical Marijuana dispensaries.

He should not be stopping the raids because he needs to redirect his Justice Department resources but rather because it was a flawed policy to begin with.
