Petition the White House

There is a new petition on We the People, a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, and it needs your support. It asks the Obama administration to decline prosecution of federal marijuana laws that conflict with State laws. Will you please add your name to the petition? If this petition gets 25,000 signatures by December 27, 2012, the White House will review it and respond!

While there are other petitions related to the legalization of marijuana being circulated on the website, this one is unique in that it asks the President to take an action which he can do without relying on the Congress to act. If the Attorney General will decline to prosecute marijuana laws in States that have chosen to legalize it, then medical marijuana dispensaries in California, for instance, can re-open without the threat of asset forfeiture and criminal prosecution.

You can view and sign the petition here:

Please cut and paste this to your Facebook pages or spread the word via your Twitter accounts. The more signatures we get, the more likely we will get a favorable response. The tide of history is on our side, but we need to act!
