MMJ dispensaries unionize

In the wake of an announcement by the U.S. Department of Justice that
federal law enforcement plans to go after medical marijuana (MMJ)
dispensaries in California, Colorado dispensaries have joined the
United Food and Commercial Workers Union.

UFCW reportedly welcomed the dispensaries and promised to use its
muscle to back up the dispensary workers to protect them not only from
unfair prosecution, but also ordinances that ban dispensaries.

That's great. We're happy to see dispensaries, which employ thousands
of workers in our state, get some support.

But didn't President Obama tell the justice department to leave MMJ
dispensaries the hell alone? What happened to that?

Maybe the feds have decided to flout that order because they're
strapped for cash now that they haven't been able to bust quite as
many people and confiscate their property in states where MMJ is
legal. Or maybe Obama needs to issue a reminder.

Regardless, it's really high time we end the marijuana prohibition
that makes cartels and federal bureaucracies rich and legalize
marijuana, medical and otherwise.
