#11  The ATF, along with the DOE and the EPA would be on the top of my list of agencies to whack from the budget if I was president.

Let me take this one step further: we have moved into a period in our history where we may objectively regard anyone who works for the BATF as traitor. By which I mean, specifically, a betrayer of his country, its people, and its principles.

#10  O.F.&F. has not played out yet. The investigation/lawsuit is slowly gathering momentum.

#9  "Miscreants, churls and footpads who knew they were doing wrong and went and did it anyway."

Which should never be tolerated when it is a "Law-bearing" armed branch of the Federal Government.

If the Military had done similar things the ATF did with Straw sales of weapons to drug cartels, Leavenworth would be full.

#8  the ATF has NO credibility after their actions and deeds in O.F.F. Who the F do they thing they are. They are jack booted thugs is what they are. Miscreants, churls and footpads who knew they were doing wrong and went and did it anyway.

#7  I'm starting to think we should disband the ATF. Some elements can go into the Border Patrol, others can go into the unemployment line, a small handful can be in the prison cafeteria selling smokes.

#6  Ah yes... the over reaching and over bearing ATF. How was that Ruby Ridge incident for ya? How about Waco? Worked out so well, didn't they?

Pretentious fucksticks. The ATF, along with the DOE and the EPA would be on the top of my list of agencies to whack from the budget if I was president.

#5  "...or any other controlled substance..."

WHOA! That isn't just marijuana. A big list of prescription medicines are "federally controlled substances", available only through a doctor's prescription.

#4  Suppose that means drinkers and smokers are next; funny coming from an agency which is proving to be completely irresponsible gun owners.

#1  How can the gov deny the joy firearms when there is an exploding epidemic of blindness in this country? Have a heart President Obama!

With the number of small businesses catering to the cannabis-needing population growing at a fast clip amid more relaxed marijuana laws, the medical-marijuana market could reach revenues of $1.7 billion this year, a figure that approaches sales of erectile-dysfunction drug V1@gr@ (which totaled about $1.9 billion), according to a report released Wednesday by See Change Strategy LLC, an independent financial analysis firm that eyes new and unique markets.

In five years, medicinal-marijuana sales could hit $8.9 billion, about half of what is reportedly the size of the illegal marijuana market, estimated at $18 billion, according to the report, which can be found at MedicalMarijuanaMarkets.com.

RThe report found that 24.8 million people are eligible to receive a recommendation that would allow them to purchase marijuana legally under state laws, and approximately 730,000 people actually do in the seven existing markets where medical marijuana is legal. Those states are: California, Colorado, Michigan, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and New Mexico.
