States Thrown Into Chaos with Medical Marijuana Law

The New York Times reports that with the federal government's decision not to prosecute people for using medical marijuana, the states where it is legal are finding it difficult.

"The federal government says they're not going to control it, so the only other option we have is to control it ourselves," said one official in a community where marijuana dispensaries could be banned.

It's an issue in Colorado, California and New Hampshire, all battered by state budget cuts. It's also an issue in states like New York and New Jersey that may soon have their own medical marijuana laws.
