 UPDATE: Back to the Drawing Board for Bill to Stop Enforcement of Marijuana Laws in St. Louis

“We have real crime to deal with in this city,” Green said, adding that police should not be spending time and resources on a substance that is now considered legal in many cities and states. Marijuana is still illegal under federal law but federal officials are not currently enforcing those laws under a practice that began under the Obama administration.
