There is an important action to take:

Tom Gorman,  who works in the Obama administration in the Office of Drug Control Policy is leading a campaign to gut and discredit Colorado’s constitutional amendment 20 which allows cannabis use for medical reasons.  Mr. Gorman is also director of the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program in Colorado running an arm of the National Drug Control Policy office in four Western States.   Gorman has a contract that funnels $150,00 a year in federal money and he claims “Technically, if you ask me who I represent, it’s the Colorado Drug Investigators Association” in an interview with Susan Greene he goes on to say “Pot smokers are gaming the system” and  ”chaos and moral decay will ensue”.  Tom Gorman was instrumental in the campaign to overturn Arizona’s widely supported medical marijuana law in 1996.

This is an outrage.  This is an Obama administration director who is going against statements made by Attorney General Eric Holder on March 18, 2009 in which he declares the administration will be stopping the raids on medical marijuana patients and dispensaries.    Mr.  Gorman appears to be violating Federal law which does not allow for government funds to be used for lobbying against legislation or for candidates.

It is time to retire Tom Gorman, 66 of the Rocky Mountain HIDTA.    Tell our government to respect the rights of patients to use this valuable medicine, the voters spoke.
