Bill Richardson steps up

Governor of New Mexico (and Presidential candidate) Bill Richardson is not allowing his state to simply be scared by the DEA’s bullying (or to use that as an excuse to not implement its medical marijuana law).
He’s directed state officials to continue to work toward finding a way to implement the law, and has written a letter to the President urging him to end the “White House Office of National Drug Control Policy’s misguided priority and wasted resources spent to intimidate states trying to implement medical marijuana programs.”
