Obama to end DEA pot raids

In a minor but significant potential victory for federalism, President Obama indicates that he will end federal raids of marijuana shops that are legal under state law, once he has a new DEA director in place. (Via Volokh.)

I’m going to wait and see that it actually happens, but it’s a good sign that this promise hasn’t gone down the memory hole.

UPDATE (2/16/2010): The promise may not have gone down the memory hole, but it doesn’t seem to have been kept either.
