Obama: ‘I Don't Mind A Debate' About Drug Legalization
Link
Obama said he doesn't "mind a debate" over drug legalization even though he doesn't believe it “is going to be the answer."
“I don’t mind a debate on issues such as decriminalization,” Obama told Univisión’s Enrique Acevedo while in Colombia for the Summit of the Americas. "I personally don't agree that that's a solution to the problem, but I think that, given the pressures that a lot of governments are under here -- under resourced, overwhelmed by violence -- it’s completely understandable that they would look for new approaches and we want to cooperate with them."
Obama went on to clarify his own stance on the issue.
"I don't think legalization of drugs is going to be the answer," Obama said.
Obama will likely face pressure this weekend from other leaders who are pushing to legalize marijuana and other illicit drugs in an effort to prevent drug trafficking. The president -- who had a progressive attitude toward drug legalization during his 2008 campaign -- has since hardened his stance on the issue.
Obama's trip to Colombia made headlines Friday night when a dozen Secret Service agents providing security on the trip were relieved of duty because of allegations of misconduct. The Associated Press reported the misconduct involved prostitutes in Cartagena, site of the Summit of the Americas.

Stupid stoners all over the comment section on their high horse about marijuana should be legalized and that people should learn about it before judging yet use the same misinformation they preach against on the usage of 'hard' drugs saying they want all of them kept illegal. They think users of other drugs are scum yet they spend all their time and money high on marijuana. Fuck stoners and fuck marijuana culture.

You know what I hear now when Obama speaks on this issue? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
He's not getting my vote this time around. Fuck him.

Drugs will never be legal without violence. NOTHING will ever change without violence. We've all been conditioned to think that violence isn't the answer yet have ANY peaceful protests worked in the past? Remember Vietnam? Remember all those cops calling the protestors hippie scum and beating them while they cried with their signs? What about Occupy Wallstreet? What did that solve? NOTHING. They laughed down at them on the balcony and drank champagne. The usual rebuttal to this argument usually goes back to 'being non-violent like Gandhi'. Have you taken a look at India lately? It's a huge shithole with living conditions ALMOST on par with a uncleaned McDonalds bathroom in most areas. He did NOTHING. Or how about the pictures of the monks setting themselves on fire to protest? That sure solved a lot. So now we can establish holding signs and suicide solves nothing. How about the offensive approach for once? Our country is in the shitter and it's only going to get worse with these corrupt politicians holding office. People seem to forget that they aren't immune to bullets. Keep crying on the internet demanding things to change while they send your emails straight into the Spam folder.

I think that drugs have essentially been 'legalized'. They are controlled by law, whether it's in the best way or not is unknown to me.

Nope. Not to me. There's a reason I did not vote for Obama or anyone last election. From the start I couldn't see any reason to trust Obama. He barely even had a voting record.
Only one candidate I would trust this time around. 
I hope if nothing else there will be more Ron Paul like candidates in the future, as in people running for office who are consistent in what they say.

Pretty much. Not electing him would make us look like a racist nation.

The constitution was made of horse shit and inscribed with blood and piss for ink. All you kids who want a revolution though, you must understand that you will need to start from the ground up. You are still halfway believing in a fairy tale. What kind of leader or societal influence are you personally? What kind of guerilla forces do you support to rule in a dictatorship after the powers that be are destroyed?

I don't want a revolution per se. I just want politicians to know that the people can take them out if they fuck up. Laws like the NDAA would have never passed if we weren't a nation of conditioned pussies or putting people in jail for up to 10 years for having a plant and I don't even like marijuana so my view on that isn't biased.

Some people say the constitution or at least it's first drafts were written on hemp paper.
So really were a country founded on hemp and possibly marijuana too.

Drugs are basically legal, the war on drugs is to keep the Pharm, alcohol and tobacco monopolies. Plenty of 'hard' drugs are manufactured and sold legally in the US, you just need the proper government slip of paper saying you are allowed to sell and/or use. Allowing the government to both profit from drugs and use them to in prison minorities they don't like.

That's hardly a revolution since that's how it used to be until we became conditioned. Most of these politicians and the president would have been hung by now.
