My letter to the President

Dear President Barack Obama,

Congratulations on becoming our nation's 44th president.

I'm writing to say I stand with you on the issue of medical marijuana. Like you said during the campaign, it's cruel for the federal government to waste taxpayer resources raiding medical
marijuana dispensaries in states where medical marijuana is legal.

As you may know, the DEA recently raided several medical marijuana dispensary in California including one in located in South Lake Tahoe, putting the lives of cancer, HIV/AIDS and other patients at risk. It is clear that the agency is ignoring your wishes. I urge you to stand tall and issue an executive order prohibiting federal law enforcement from arresting and prosecuting anyone for marijuana who is following their state's medical marijuana law.

Again, congratulations on becoming the 44th president.

Sincerely,

The People of the United States of America
