Dear Mr. Krueger,
Thank you for your letter dated January 5, 2009.
I received a final ruling from the DEA on my petition this week. A copy is attached
to this email. The DEA claims State medical marijuana laws are not the same thing
as "accepted medical use in treatment in the United States." Apparently, they think
the federal government gets to decide what is and what is not accepted for medical
use in the United States. You really owe it to the people of your state to challenge
them on this. The law is not on their side this time.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Carl Olsen
