Some states say that using marijuana for medical purposes is allowed, while the federal Drug Enforcement Agency enforces the nation-wide ban on pot in all states. Many medical marijuana clinics in California, for example, have been raided by the DEA, who seized hundreds of pounds of their inventory, despite the fact that medical marijuana is approved in California. This caused an outrage in the cannabis smoking society, and it heightens the overall hostility between citizens and the government when the issue at hand is legalizing weed.
