Federal Marijuana Response Awaited in CO, WA

What will the imperial masters say?

Two states that approved recreational use of marijuana are waiting to hear how the federal government intends respond to the measures.

The governor of Colorado said he planned to talk by phone with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder about the measures that contradict federal law banning the use of pot.

Seventeen states and Washington, D.C., already allow marijuana use by people with certain medical conditions. Still, federal drug law outlaws use of the drug in all circumstances.
