Yesterday in San Francisco there was another battle in the war over marijuana in California. U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello, "Northern California's top federal prosecutor," publicly debated Joe Elford of the medical marijuana advocacy group Americans for Safe Access.
Russoniello said that law enforcement efforts will not be targeted at users of the drug, but "those who are cultivating, who are distributing, who are trafficking marijuana for profit."
At the same time, he "[made] clear his opinion that the medical marijuana debate is nothing more than a stalking horse for decriminalizing recreational use of the drug."
