"It wasn't hard to put together a report showing how the Obama administration continues to wage the failed 'war on drugs' even while pretending to end it," said Stamper. "Although President Obama has talked about respecting states' rights to enact medical marijuana laws, his [Drug Enforcement Administration] has raided state-legal medical marijuana providers at a higher rate than under the Bush administration."

"Similarly, this president has continued a Bush-era budget ratio that heavily favors spending on punishment over providing resources for treatment, even though he has said drug addiction should be handled as a health issue," he added.
