US WA: Ex-DEA Heads, U.N. Panel Urge U.S. to Nullify Pot Laws

Seattle Times, 06 Mar 2013 – Eight former U.S. drug chiefs warned the federal government Tuesday that time is running out to nullify Washington and Colorado’s new laws legalizing recreational marijuana use, and they want a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday to question Attorney General Eric Holder on his plans. The federal government still considers marijuana an illegal drug with no medical value, like heroin. Holder recently said his decision on how to respond to legal marijuana for adult use in the two states is imminent.
