If the federal government doesn’t act soon, it may lose the chance to stamp out recreational pot laws in Colorado and Washington, cautioned eight former DEA officials, the Associated Press reports.
Although voters legalized small amounts of possession last year in those states, the law still conflicts with a federal ban on marijuana.
The DEA heads plan to issue joint statements to President Obama’s administration Tuesday, the AP wrote.
“My fear is that the Justice Department will do what they are doing now: do nothing and say nothing,” said Peter Bensinger, one of the former DEA administrators said. “If they don’t act now, these laws will be fully implemented in a matter of months.”
