    President Barack Obama will take steps to draw down the nation's decades-long war on drugs if he wins a second term, Marc Ambinder reports Monday in GQ.
    According to Ambinder, Obama's "aides and associates" say that the president is looking to prioritize reform, a reflection of the president's long-held beliefs that strict drug prohibition and enforcement policies have done greater damage to society than good.

    I think hes is just looking to get the younger and smarter voters
    Than when he is elected he'll change his mind, Lair I am sure wish it was true.

    Agreed, this will be just like how he was pro MMJ prior to getting elected. After he wins we will have the country's highest arrest rates for drugs in history.

    He would have to believe it in the first place to change his mind.

    No, he won't. What was it that Dubya said?

    Also, remember, "you can take that to the bank"?

    The dude gets paid to lie on the campaign trail. We've seen all of this before.

    They all lie....remember that asshole Clinton...I didnt inhale...yeah like the intern didnt swallow. Ya know if they let the growers here grow we could at least stop the stuff coming over the boarder and giving money to the cartels etc.....nope that just makes to much sense

    So "ongoing discussions with Obama aides and associates" indicate Obama will "scale back" the drug war, whatever that means?

    I have no idea what to make of this. This is a weird article.

    I'll believe if I see it. We don't need to just scale back the drug war. We need to end the drug war. Mere reform won't fix the entirely counterproductive failure that is the drug war.

    Why wait until the start of a second term? Why not just scale it back right now?

    Once he is voted back in he Dosnt have to worry about re-election, he Dosnt want to compromise his chances before election

    Once he's re-elected, he no longer has to give a shit about you or any stoner who is old enough to vote by pretending to appease you. He can continue throwing stoners in jail and you'll just be another useful idiot who was fooled by a professional puppet. :wave:

    Maybe, maybe not. Take a look at the alternative. I'll risk a second term with Obama.

    You think you have a say. You think Obama is better than Romney.

    I'm sure the first black president wants to be remembered for drug legalization...lol

    I feel both sides have so much money coming in to their pet projects that work in collusion with the drug war that it's unlikely things will change greatly either way; sadly there hasn't really been much of a difference displayed by either side in rhetoric or action.
