End Federal Raids on Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Dear President Obama,
I am writing to you, via the facilities of change.org, in support of the notion you espoused during the campaign, of ending federal raids on medical marijuana facilities. Please see to it that these raids end.
These raids are part of a federal program that does not work, and I will hold you, too, to your pledge to end programs that do not work. The program I refer to is the so-called War on Drugs, which is better described as a War on Some Drugs.
I am continually amazed at the stupidity represented by our national drugs policy. Our policies do not serve national interests - they serve special interests. Our drug policies are anti-democratic, authoritarian and wasteful. Our drug policies create scofflaws. Our drug policies create and exacerbate problems in and for other countries.
National drugs policy is just about the stupidest goddamned thing I've ever seen. Please stop the waste and the intrusions into people's lives. Please end medical marijuana raids.
Sincerely,
Steve Sturgill in Phoenix

Excellent letter. Considering the events in northern Mexico, maybe there is an opening for people to realize how much damage, international and domestic, is done by our simple-minded attempts to "protect" people from drugs.
