US MT: OPED: Montanans Suffer As Obama Reneges On Medical Marijuana Pledge

The Billings Gazette, 29 Oct 2011 - The Obama administration has been a disappointment in some ways, but by far the worst of its actions concern medical marijuana. What the federal government is doing now is nothing short of cruel and unfair, not to mention a gross waste of taxpayer dollars. It began with aggressive raids last March on legal Montana producers and providers who had been working to help worthy patients, and now has escalated to become a national scandal. As a physician, I have issued more than 400 recommendations to patients who have benefited greatly from the use of medical marijuana. It seems to me that we are seeing the fruits either of colossal ineptitude on the part of Obama's appointees or, much worse, an unconscionable double-cross that essentially amounts to deliberate entrapment by the government of good, law-abiding citizens.
