Washington, D.C. (AHN) - The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will no longer raid dispensaries with state permits to distribute marijuana for medical purposes, according to the attorney general.
AG Eric Holder announced Wednesday in a Washington press conference on the arrest of 755 drug trafficking suspects that the ban on DEA raids of legal medical marijuana dispensaries is now the government's policy as promised by President Barack Obama during his election campaign in November 2007.
The move will make the raid and closure of at least two marijuana dispensaries in California on Feb. 3 the last for the DEA. However, dispensaries distributing marijuana, which doctors used as pain reliever, without state and local government permits are still subject to prosecution.
