The Obama Administration says federal agents will no longer bust marijuana stores in states where (anyone can pretend to have) medical conditions enable the sale, possession and use of weed.

"Federal drug agents won't pursue pot-smoking patients or their sanctioned suppliers in states that allow medical marijuana, under new legal guidelines to be issued Monday by the Obama administration.

Two Justice Department officials described the new policy to The Associated Press, saying prosecutors will be told it is not a good use of their time to arrest people who use or provide medical marijuana in strict compliance with state law."

Some analysts expect an economic stimulus from the announcement. Sales of Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, glow in the dark posters of unicorns, Cheetos and Wii game consoles are being monitored for an anticipated spike.

Those with more sophisticated minds (cocaine users) are watching the legal ramifications of this policy. Like, what will happen (a few days from now) when the next NBA star that suffers from "acute anxiety" gets photographed blowing half a gram of Purple Barack Kush through a shotgun in the front seat of their Escalade, and it isn't legal to suspend them? High times ya'll.
