Barack Obama Wants to Arrest Marijuana Users After All

[passthetrees420]

I put the wrong title before, but obama changed his mind on his views of decrim. of marijuana. Here's the article: http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle_...bama_wants_to_

I can't believe that he would turn his back on this.. just shows that none of the politicians can be trusted, except for Ron Paul of course

No.. Ron Paul can't be trusted either. All Politicians are liars.

Good article!

If we want change we have to demand it, loudly, intelligently, and continuously!

I can't wait until the day that we can freely smoke the herb, without any paranoia and look back on the days that it was still illegal and just have a good laugh about it..

Ron Paul isn't a "politician".

10 terms in congress, not to mention years of being a doctor, and serving as a flight surgeon in Vietnam, and there isn't a blemish on his record. He doesn't lie, he doesn't skirt around the issues. Doesn't take money or associate with big business or lobbyists, etc.

To say Ron Paul cannot be trusted is a highly unvalididated statement.

Politicians run for President. Thanks. To say he's not a politician is a joke. Sure he's a doctor. He's a vet, along with most previous Presidents. He doesn't take money? Explain that one.

our goverment is very corrupt, all i know is if hilary wins every thing will get easier on us soldiers. bush was a fucking idiot. iunno no one in goverment can be trusted, they get paid to misleed the nation, they are like puppets, they are the first thing you see, but there's a higher power behind them making all the moves.

Obama isn't as pro-marijuana as someone like Ron Paul, but he does want to reduce the penalties. He thinks non-violent drug arrests are a waste of our resources and prisons, and aren't posing a threat to society. He would also end the federal raids on medical bud, and supports a state's right to make this decision. I think if he were somehow given a reasonable bill for decriminalization, he would probably allow it to pass. But keep in mind that the president doesn't hold all the power in matters like that... ending the drug war is one thing, but legalization is another. Congress has to support it first.

As far as the top three candidates (Obama, Clinton, and McCain), Obama is the closest one to pro-pot at this point.

But this is all kind of irrelevant... I think all of us on here can agree marijuana should be legal, but there are much more important issues in my opinion. We can all obviously get weed whether it's legal or not, and things like the war and the economy are affecting people's lives in much more significant ways. Those are the issues we should be focused on right now. Just because a candidate is pro-pot doesn't mean they're capable of running the country.

Yeah well, what else can you expect from a self proclaimed neo-confederate anti-segregationist?
