The pot thing just keeps getting more confusing and complex.
Attorney Gen. Eric Holder Jr. has vowed to “vigorously enforce” federal marijuana laws even if Californians vote next month to legalize pot with Prop 19, the Associated Press reports.
Holder’s comments were contained in a letter to ex-federal drug enforcement chiefs, AP reported.
The letter did raise questions as to what extent authorities would crack down on small time users and dealers and whether resources were available to even do that, AP reported.
Still Holder wrote:
“We will vigorously enforce the CSA against those individuals and organizations that possess, manufacture or distribute marijuana for recreational use, even if such activities are permitted under state law.”
