March 19 Current Event.

The Obama administration will be cracking down on federal agents raiding marijuana dispensers.  During the Bush administration, raids on these dispensers were very frequent.  This is regardless of whether or not the marijuana producing area was illegal or not.  This step will ensure that medical marijuana will have an easier time being impemented in states where it is legal.

The message from the Bush department was "Watch out, we have the authority to go after everybody".  This sent an improper message to the DEA, who would be indifferent to whether marijuana growers were for medical or illicit reasons.  There are many new reforms Obama is bringing to America, and the crackdown on ensuring the well being of Medical Marijuana growers is just one of the many reforms brought forth to better the nation.
