Yesterday we reported that advocates had presented House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi with a petition asking her to help end the federal crackdown on medical marijuana. (Click here [5] and scroll down to the last paragraph of the California section of our Medical Marijuana Update.)
Pelosi responded, issuing a statement on "Recent Federal Actions Threatening Safe Access to Medical Marijuana [6]":
"I have strong concerns about the recent actions by the federal government that threaten the safe access of medicinal marijuana to alleviate the suffering of patients in California, and undermine a policy that has been in place under which the federal government did not pursue individuals whose actions complied with state laws providing for medicinal marijuana."
