In a significant policy shift by the Obama administration, Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. signaled Thursday that the federal government would no longer interfere in states that allowed commercial marijuana sales as long as they were strictly regulated.
The move comes two years after the Justice Department said federal drug agents would not tolerate large-scale or commercial pot businesses and began a campaign to shut down dispensaries and growers. The crackdown was particularly aggressive in California, where hundreds have been shut down.
The new policy suggests the federal government is trying to find a workable balance between federal law, which prohibits all marijuana use, and laws in a growing number of states such as California that permit it.
Holder informed the governors of Colorado and Washington state — where voters in November passed ballot measures to legalize marijuana for all adult use — that the Justice Department would not move to halt those initiatives.

Moral of the story
The good news to finish the month of August 2013 with is as above.
Technically speaking, with all of the right legal parameters in place, one could order their product online or in person and have it shipped to their disclosed location via any parcel service in one of the two current legal pot states.
Also, as part of the Obamacare law provisions, since cannabis is also prescribed as a medical treatment in states where it is legal to do so, additional treatment services to go along with the medication also creates a demand for more skilled workers to be employed in this sector.
Dont mind me!
I am just thinking out loud and building the plane while its in flight beginning with the consideration and visualization of exciting and new perspectives.
