Tucked deep inside the 1,603-page federal spending measure is a provision that effectively ends the federal government's prohibition on medical marijuana and signals a major shift in drug policy.
The bill's passage over the weekend marks the first time Congress has approved nationally significant legislation backed by legalization advocates. It brings almost to a close two decades of tension between the states and Washington over medical use of marijuana.
Under the provision, states where medical pot is legal would no longer need to worry about federal drug agents raiding retail operations. Agents would be prohibited from doing so.
Should the U.S. legalize marijuana?
Bloomberg's Olivia Sterns reports on the New York Times' advocacy of the legalization of marijuana.
The Obama administration has largely followed that rule since last year as a matter of policy. But the measure approved as part of the spending bill, which President Obama plans to sign this week, will codify it as a matter of law.

Federal Judges Ask Harborside Prosecutor: Why Have You Picked This Fight?
"What's the end game here?" judge Stephen Murphy III asked the prosecution, according to reports from the San Jose Mercury News, San Francisco Chronicle and other sources.
"In light of the (recent policy changes) it's a little curious we're here in this case," Judge Johnnie Rawlinson added.
The federal prosecutor for US Attorney Melinda Haag said he did not know why the office is still pursuing Harborside.
Haag continues to seek dispensary properties despite direction from both Congress and the US Attorney Generals Office to do something more useful with her scarce time and resources.
