Today the federal government said "Pot-smoking patients or their sanctioned suppliers should not be targeted for federal prosecution in states that allow medical marijuana--funny to call dealers sanctioned suppliers."
14 states are now allowed to use marijuana for medical purposes. And 5 of those 14 states have the highest unemployment rates in the nation (as of Aug,'09)
1. Michigan=15.2
2.Nevada=13.2
3. Rhode island=12.8
4. Oregon=12.2
5. California=12.2
Will this decision by the Federal government be the kick start these economies need? Or was marijuana legalized in these states because the economy has so depressed people they need the pick me up?
