C'mon, move on to something serious that people actually care about like Wall Street corruption. It's hard to shake a stick in the US without hitting someone who hasn't smoked pot. The majority of Americans have inhaled, including politicians at all levels across the country. Few people are demanding action on this issue. As I said the other day, this should not be a priority for the federal government. Hasn't anyone in Washington noticed the real and justified anger against Wall Street's plundering?
The federal government has limited resources and tight budgets and most would prefer action on one of the most important issues of our time rather than attacking the advertising industry.
Federal prosecutors are preparing to target newspapers, radio stations and other media outlets that advertise medical marijuana dispensaries in California, another escalation in the Obama administration's newly invigorated war against the state's pot industry.
This month, U.S. attorneys representing four districts in California announced that the government would single out landlords and property owners who rent buildings or land where dispensaries sell or cultivators grow marijuana.
U.S. Attorney Laura E. Duffy, whose district includes Imperial and San Diego counties, said marijuana advertising is the next area she's "going to be moving onto as part of the enforcement efforts in Southern California." Duffy said she could not speak for the three other U.S. attorneys covering the state, but noted their efforts have been coordinated so far.
