A provision ending the federal prohibition on medical marijuana, banning federal agents from policing its users or raiding dispensaries in any state or district where it is legal, was just passed by Congress.

The provision can be found in Congress' new 1,603-page spending plan.

Mainstream media may be quiet about this latest news, but you can guarantee the little passage will radically alter the way America treats – and views – the use of medical marijuana.

The spending plan, with the medical pot provision within it, became law when President Obama signed it last Friday, reports the LA Times.  http://www.trueactivist.com/congress-quietly-ends-federal-prohibition-on-medical-marijuana/
This turns the decisions back to the states, where it belongs.  Like it or hate it, it shouldn't be a federal level issue.

You have to sign it to find out what's in it.
