President Obama: No To Decriminalization, Yes To More War On Some Drugs
    #14824049 - 07/25/11 09:06 PM (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ironic kudos to Political Rhetoric graduate student ‘Steve’ from the University of Maryland for asking President Obama last Friday a spot on and searing rhetorical question from the Millennial generation about our country’s need to end the nation’s longest war…the failed war on some drugs.

Steve gets it. The audience gets it. According to all polling, in excess of 90% of U.S. citizens broadly believe the ‘war on drugs’ is a failure (75% support medical access to cannabis. 73% support decriminalizing adult possession for cannabis; and 46% support cannabis legalization outright).

When will the two major political parties and presidents—like Obama—get it?

According to polling last week, President Obama is quickly falling out of favor with the Millennial generation that helped sweep him to power in 2008. Lest President Obama forget who brought him to the dance, he might want to look at the clear discontent—across all party lines—with the way the federal government has been conducting drug warring, notably its full-throat perpetuation of antiquated and tax-draining Cannabis Prohibition policies.

Instead, he should deliver a clear message for supporting a system of legally controlling cannabis, rather than deny economic reality, waste taxpayers’ money and constantly face embarrassing questions about a failed public policy that has long festered in the public’s mind.

President Obama should endorse a ‘drug peace’ where cannabis is legally controlled like alcohol products; patients can access a safe and non-toxic naturally occurring medicine; and farmers, entrepreneurs and consumers in America can benefit from industrial hemp production.

President Obama, NORML and tens of millions of cannabis consumers and lovers of liberty ask you not to re-commit us to war against ‘weed’, but, instead, to re-think the leaf.

By David Edwards of Raw Story

President Barack Obama said Friday that the U.S. would not be ending its war on drugs under his watch.

“Much is being asked of our generation,” a doctoral student named Steve told the president at a town hall event in Maryland. “So, when are our economic perspectives going to be addressed? For example, when is the war on drugs in society going to be abandoned and be replaced by a more sophisticated and cost effective program of rehabilitation such as the one in Portugal?”

“I have stated repeatedly — and it’s actually reflected in our most recent statement by our office of drug policy — that we need to have an approach that emphasizes prevention, treatment, a public health model for reducing drug use in our country,” Obama said. “We’ve got to put more resources into that. We can’t simply focus on interdiction because, frankly, no matter how good of a job we’re doing when it comes to an interdiction approach, if there is high demand in this country for drugs, we are going to continue to see not only drug use but also the violence associated with the drug trade.”

After several minutes of explaining U.S. efforts to help Mexico fight transnational drug dealers, the president got to the point.

“Just to make sure that I’m actually answering your question, am I willing to pursue a decriminalization strategy as an approach? No.”

“But I am willing to make sure that we’re putting more resources on the treatment and prevention side,” Obama added.

yeah decriminalization would cause more problems than anything. it would just up demand for street drugs by not making them as risky legally but still as risky in terms of adulterants. legalization and regulation is the only way to go about it. just keep the prices on level or near street prices and gangs will cease to exist

Well that's a hell of a lot better then how any other Presidential candidate wants it, aka an outright federal ban.  Also, Paul and anyone else who wants legalization has to say this or the states' rights conservatives will be lost.  Noone that thinks marijuana should be legal in EVERY state, even against that state wishes, has a chance of being regarded as sane by the  mainstream public.

That's why we need to push everyone we know to vote for Ron Paul. Someone that gives a shit about our civil liberties. Get a chance check out    Ron Paul 2012.com and Daily Paul.com. We need more support and one thing we are sure of is that Ron Paul will not tell us lies, he'd rather die first for the sake of liberty. All we need to do is get off our asses and push and convince others that the only man that really can change Washington is Ron Paul. I know it will not be easy for him because they will act against him but I think we will have our day as long as we can get him where he needs to be for our liberty.

I like what you say man
a vast, i want to say majority of America has some sort of marijuanna crime on their records. I do believe for legalization, but we have to slowly get there and keep pushing.
Some people don't even believe in medical mj, which i feel is utter bullshit.
Sure the pres. is gonna change or sway how he is once in office, he also is worrying about being re-elected when that comes up.
He's about the closest i feel we've ever had to a president that is a little loose on the subject. We should just keep goin the way we're going with it. the war to leagalize mj is winning, ever so slowly i feel

Decriminalization is not a sustainable solution, but it is a step to legalization. Unfortunately, because crime is still involved, myopic people still think more criminalization is needed.

The drug "problem" will only be solved when prohibition is lifted, because prohibition is the problem.

I'd be more inclined to vote for Ron Paul if he wasn't as close to anarchism as he is. I'm 100% for personal freedoms, yet I'm also for regulation of markets and for providing socialized programs like public schools, police, firefighters, health care etc.

Public schools, police, and firefighters are usually provided by state and local governments.  If anything, what distinguishes Paul from the rest is that he believes state governments should have a lot more responsibilities and he believes in states' rights.

I do agree there needs to be some regulation of the financial markets though.

Even if he did legalize it, the republicans would probably spend the next 4 years undoing it. Drug legalization is an issue the people will have to ban together and fight for, people who use illegal drugs represent a higher proportion of the population then many minorities,

A Druggies Rights Movement, they are definately persecuted with violence imprisonment, property forfeiture, and drug screanings for many jobs and "coming soon" for welfare too. It would take a charismatic leadership with credentials willing to risk it all, peaceful nonresistance with open drug use (need it done on a large enough scale), people getting arrested and beaten and capturing the publics sympathies for peoples human rights. That sort of thing...

We both know that no one is going to vote for Ron Paul.




Not with that attitude dude.

EDIT: Ron Paul isn't an anarchist. He is a Libertarian. He believes in a strict interpretation of America's Constitution. He believes in a strong military, but believes in isolationism. He wants to end the police state we have domestically. (Rough quote) "We can still ensure our safety without losing our liberties"

I'm voting for Ron Paul and I'm sure every marijuana activist and other anti government organizations will also. Ron Paul is the only man in Washington that has a voting record that shows he will stand firm for what he believes in. He's not a pussy like the rest he will fight for our rights. If you don't vote for Ron Paul enjoy the next few years because after that the government will own everything that's in your possession. It's not yours any more, your just borrowing it. Come on Santeni it's people like you that think Ron Paul will not have a chance that's keeping us from taking the GOP. Ron Paul is an honest man, who else can you say that to that's in Washington. I rest my case.
I'm voting for Ron Paul in 2012 and you all should consider it also if you care for your freedom!!

Ron Paul even has the back bone to tell congress to stop stealing your money. I'm telling you he's the only man in Washington that gives a fuck about any of you. Here's a qoute directly from Mr. Paul himself.

Ron Paul to Congress: "Stop Stealing from the American People"

I've heard there's some movement going around to organize people to meet at their local city halls and smoke on 4-20-2012.  In some circles it's pretty big, at least in some major cities.

He is a drug warrior murderer and orders mass murder in imperialist American wars. Oppose the Obama, Democrats and Republicans based on their murder and oppression - drug war. 

Until we shame the masses into doing this and build a real anti war party then nothing will change, not even in total collapse.

End American imperialism and colonization around the world and among the people conquered within the domestic empire.

I think it'd be great to start a party whose main platforms were anti-war, and anti-drug war.  This would be really good.

The masses are the stupid fucks. Thats WHY obama is here. All my damn peers were cheering him on like it was some god damn football game. Yea obama!

Der da der. Lied to everyone who voted him in. Lied way more then bush did. Hell the people that voted bush in expected what they got.

Obama is Bush reincarnated with the main goal of putting the country in debt.

but im saying bro there are plenty of people and lobbies and shit that would not let stuff like this happen

i mean he's not murdering people for oil, but you would create alot of problems if you do anything radical and he probably thinks he has to make a offering of people to get this country out of a hole for next election so he can save us.

what dont you get its like self defense only with other peoples lives

jeezus christ
