Will marijuana reform be brought up in the debates?

LOL, NO

Remember how Obama was like "We need to rethink our drug laws" before he was elected and now the Feds raid dispensaries in CO and CA? They will never do anything about it.

I know Romney said he was against it and Obama can say any combination of words he wants, but he's against it, too.

The states have to fight for it, because the Fed wants it illegal.

 

Lol come on Obama and romney are puppets, they say what the rest of the government wants them to say, been that way for a few decades now.

 

so spread the vote for Gary JOHSON

 

No, they wont bring it up. Noone in the political mainstream cares what a bunch of cannabis users think.

 

No, the debates will be almost entirely about the economy and random shit that they throw out to discredit each other.

Obama even said in 2008 that he was not interested in using his political resources towards legalization, and Romney said he would fight legalization tooth and nail, they are both the same.

 

unfortunately no.. it might be mentioned but not much more and even that is highly unlikely

 

lol...no...

Despite the fact that there are multiple states that have legalization on the ballot this year, and it looks as though it will be legal somewhere at least, they will not discuss it...

This will just contribute to making the entire establishment look illegitimate soon enough, though.

 

Doubtful it would be.

 

Fuck 'em all, let's smoke, GC

 

Marijuana reform is more of an issue on the state side because state governments and populations are growing increasingly tired of paying for marijuana prohibition. Plus citizens are becoming more and more tolerant of marijuana use because of MMJ and just an overall increase in social acceptance. The Federal government does not give a single fuck about marijuana reform and they are happy with the way things are.

 

No. Gary Johnson isn't in them.

I did hear that 3 of 10 sponsors pulled out because of it. That was a bit surprising.

 

Regardless of who wins, THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T CONTROL SHIT! Money controls America.

 

If Obama has any plans of reform, there's no chance in hell he'll talk about them until after reelection. Obama not saying anything about reform won't change anybody's mind, but you can sure believe that if he came out pro-MJ, you'd have hoards of people switching their vote or not voting at all. He wouldn't screw up a likely reelection over a highly controversial issue that a good portion of the population is so strongly against.

 

Majority of Americans Now Support Marijuana Legalization

The majority of Americans now support legalization. Do not let yourself be fooled into thinking support of marijuana legalization is a political liability, and that someone like Obama 'really' wants to legalize, but is worried about political repercussions. That may have been true in the past, but nowadays marijuana legalization is a popular position among the general public.

 

that fucking post just made my day

 

Inb4 political debate

 

A majority of Americans supporting marijuana reform doesn't imply that it doesn't still have political implications. Just over fifty percent of the voting age population turns out to vote in presidential elections, sadly a good portion of those who support marijuana reform are on the non-voting side. Believe me, I'm not being "fooled" by anyone. Pissing off even 5% of the population because you openly supported weed can easily be enough to ruin your reelection dreams. There are certain items that a president doesn't put on his agenda until his second term. Marijuana legalization is definitely one of those items.

 

And escalates legal medical marijuana dispensary raids to the highest level in the history of the country in his first term? Doubtful..
