With Obama in the white house, there is a chance that Obama won't make any effort to enforce federal marijuana laws. But Obama is not the entire federal government. His power is limited and he sometimes seems a little ignorant or has a lack of willpower or something.
For example, federal agents could arrest Californians and send them to federal court and then to federal prison, without going through Obama or the white house or congress at all.
Still, Obama holds a trump card. He could announce that he will pardon anyone arrested/convicted of a non-violent federal marijuana related crime. That would put a "chilling effect" on federal marijuana enforcement.
Seriously though, I doubt he has the balls or even the desire to do it. I am not really sure what to think about Obama. I dont have any faith in him anymore.
