The White House expects law enforcement agents to enforce federal marijuana laws when they come into conflict with states where recreational use of the drug is permitted. "I do believe you will see greater enforcement of it," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said regarding federal drug laws, which still list marijuana as an illegal substance. That's a reversal from the Obama administration's stance, which laid out in an official memo that the federal government wouldn't interfere in states where nonmedical use of marijuana is allowed.

You know the federal government bans marijuana, and that a medical marijuana referendum in Florida failed last year. But you may not know that the U.S. government still provides marijuana to people in Florida. It all started in with a man named Bob Randall, who successfully argued for medical marijuana in court and received it as part of a legal settlement. In 1978, the United States started the Compassionate Investigational New Drug Program. It provides medicinal marijuana to people with serious health problems for life. Posted By Persist

City leaders voted unanimously 15-0 to pass the controversial issue of the decriminalization of marijuana in Atlanta on Monday. The proposal passed through a committee on September 26.

City councilman Kwanza Hall introduced the measure back in March. It calls for reducing the penalty for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana to a $75 fine and no jail time. That's a dramatic drop from the penalty currently in place under state law which calls for up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

"In Atlanta and in Fulton County, 92 percent of the arrests for small amounts of marijuana are the arrests of African-Americans, that is the most biased rate of arrests in the country," councilman Hall told CBS46 News in September. "It's not easy to convince a majority of 8 to 10 people and ideally a majority to agree to do something."

Hall and his team says it's just one measure in a series of justice reform policies he has planned, but Hall acknowledges the proposal has been stalled since May.  Posted By Ghost

"Medical marijuana is legal in 20 states and the District of Columbia, but 
there are still use cases that are very controversial, like medical 
marijuana for children. Some claim it&#39;s a wonder drug for epilepsy, severe 
autism, and even to quell the harsh side effects of chemotherapy, while 
others decry pumping marijuana into still-growing bodies. We went to 
the small town of Pendleton, Oregon, where medical marijuana is legal, 
to visit Mykayla Comstock, an eight-year-old leukemia patient who takes 
massive amounts of weed to treat her illness. Her family, and many 
people we met along the way, believe not only in the palliative aspects of 
the drug, but also in marijuana&#39;s curative effectâ€”that pot can literally 
shrink tumors." - VICE ... Posted by Jay

A just-released study found that people who smoke pot have a three times greater risk of dying from hypertension or high blood pressure.

That's compared to people who have never used marijuana.

The study was published in the European Journal of Preventative Cardiology.

Researchers examined 1,200 people for six years. They found death rates from high blood pressure were associated with people who reported using pot.

Researchers said we already knew THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, can cause serious side effects like increased heart rate, but this is the first study that looked at the long-term effects. Posted By PSmooth

On the eve of 4/20, the Senateâ€™s top Democrat came out for ending the federal prohibition of marijuana.
 
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is introducing a bill that would deschedule marijuana, Shawna Thomas reported for Vice. Descheduling would remove cannabis from the strict regulatory standards set by the Controlled Substances Act, the blueprint for US drug policy. That would not fully legalize marijuana across the US, but it could allow states to carry out marijuana reform â€” from decriminalization to medical legalization to outright legalization â€” without the threat of federal interference.
