Feds have yet to formulate a response to passage of marijuana legalization proposition in California

[Geee]

Daily Caller:

California is five hours from Washington by plane, and a solid two days if one takes the scenic route. So perhaps distance explains why neither the Department of Justice nor the Senate Judiciary Committee are all that concerned by the impending passage of a California referendum item that would legalize marijuana in the Golden State.

If, on the other hand, the feds are worried about Proposition 19, which would legalize and tax the sale and possession of cannabis, they aren’t sweating it in public.

“The federal government is committed to enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act and the Department of Justice will continue to focus its enforcement resources on significant traffickers of illegal drugs, including marijuana, in all states,” said DOJ spokesperson Laura Sweeney. “It is premature to speculate what steps we would take in the event that California passes its ballot measure.”
