I was nicely surprised! Everything President Obama said is totally accurate and it needed to be said. I can see why he doesn't want to encourage his daughters to smoke it or anyone's kids. He had that experience and he knows he got more done without it.

And, then AG Holder's statement coming on top of that.. Action!

"Eric Holder's Latest Quote Is a Huge Win For Marijuana Legalization"

"The news: United States Attorney General Eric Holder gave marijuana legalization supporters some good news on Thursday: he believes that pot businesses operating legally should be able to use federally regulated banks.

According to The New York Times, this new federal policy “would tell prosecutors not to prioritize cases involving legal marijuana businesses using banks.” Meaning pot shops could store money in federal banks without having to worry about law enforcement coming after them."

Personally, I'm excited about this.. and people not getting put in jail for pot.
