Obama administration to consider legalization
#10084952 - 04/01/09 01:31 AM (14 years, 11 months ago) |

"The time has come to re think America's policies" Barrack Obama said in an interview with New York press last evening.
Obama believes that studies should be done to test how safe of a drug marijuana really is. If studies show that it is safer then alcohol and tobacco, legalization may be considered by the Obama administration. But he stresses that "It would have to be voted on by the public, to see if this what the people really want"
Is this change we can believe in? Send us your e-mails and let us know how you feel.

Sigh, you really did get my hopes up, considering the conflicting comments that have been made.
But, at the very least, you proved that it's still possible to get April Fools jokes done. I just wish it wasn't about marijuana!
-------------------- The very nature of experience is ineffable; it transcends cognitive thought and intellectualized analysis. To be without experience is to be without an emotional knowledge of what the experience translates into. The desire for the understanding of what life is made of is the motivation that drives us all. Without it, in fear of the experiences what life can hold is among the greatest contradictions; to live in fear of death while not being alive.

i don't know if you saw his online town hall thing about a week ago, but he was asked if he thought legalizing marijuana to help fix the budget and deficit was a good idea, and he kind of laughed like it was the most ridiculous idea ever and flatly said "NO, i do not think that is a good idea." so if you think obama is the guy that's finally going to legalize your going to be very disappointed because he's not even considering the idea a respectable topic of discussion. keep dreaming!

he said it wasn't a good idea, which means he has thought about it, and decided it wasn't a good idea

yeah he did think about it for about three seconds after the question was asked. pretty much a flat our rejection for the most part. twas' an epic fail of a question.

Never about legaliztion, conflicting statements about decriminalization maybe, but not legalization. He has ALWAYS said he is 100% AGAINST cannabis legalization.
He did say a several times that he was in favor of decriminalization, but that was only a lie to get votes. After elected, he said that he had misunderstood what "decriminalization" meant, and he is actually against that as well.
(he said something to the effect that he thought decriminalization meant that first time offenders would be forced to attend drug classes at their own expense instead of jail, and wouldn't be jailed until their second offense)

I made the first topic on the townhall meeting! but yea, that was fucked up, but I think maybe for the next election- some of the people running for president may actually talk more openly about marijuana policy reform just something I am hoping for- the media has gotten much more pro marijuana in the past month to the point that it is scary- fox, ccn are all talking about ending prohibition and everyone has the internet nowdays so people can see the truth for themselves about why it is illegal, etc.
