A WASTE OF FEDERAL RESOURCES

Concerning U.S. attorneys sending threatening letters to California 
pot dispensaries to shut down within 45 days or face draconian 
prosecution, isn't it time for marijuana to be removed from the 
Schedule I category?

Marijuana use does not lead to heroin, as was once erroneously 
thought by paranoid lawmakers in the 1930s. My mother was prescribed 
marijuana by her doctor to help maintain a good quality of life 
before she died of cancer last year.

Finally, don't U.S. attorneys have more serious crime issues on their plates?
