The Justice Department said that people who medical marijuana and the people who distribute it to them should not go to jail and/or face prosecution. The new look on medical marijuana was barely a happy hold of medical marijuana, or laws that allow it in some states. But the administration thought there were more important things to prosecute people over.
“It will not be a priority to use federal resources to prosecute patients with serious illnesses or their caregivers who are complying with state laws on medical marijuana,” Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a statement, “but we will not tolerate drug traffickers who hide behind claims of compliance with state law to mask activities that are clearly illegal.”
So pretty much, patients and people use use marijuana as a medical coping device and/ or using for personal reasons will not be as high on this list of arresting as murder or rape for instince. But, that doesn't mean that they will not arrest people for personal marijuana use. People who try hiding the fact they are using marijuana by covering it up by the new law, (medical marijuana law) are just out to get themselves arrested, they are no different.
