'Dwight's defeat is directly related to his stance on marijuana'

File - In this Oct. 20, 2009, file photo, shows a bud of medical marijuana, in Portland, Ore. Medical marijuana advocates have a message for Democratic leaders and federal prosecutors with an eye on political office: Don�t mess with pot. Pushing back against the Obama administration�s crackdown on state medical marijuana programs, one of the nation�s largest pro-pot groups is claiming credit for the defeat of a former federal prosecutor in the Democratic primary for Oregon attorney general. As interim U.S. attorney, Dwight Holton called Oregon�s medical marijuana law a �train wreck� and oversaw efforts to crack down on pot shops and marijuana gardens that claim to be operating under the state law.
