Pot Advocates Love Seattle's Top Cop As Drug Czar
Thursday, February 12, 2009 β updated: 11:45 am PST February 12, 2009 SEATTLE -- While President Barack Obama still hasn't made it official yet, the next U.S. drug czar is very likely going to be Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske.
That news has local and national marijuana advocates very excited because they believe pot laws could soon become far more lenient.
Advocates said if Kerlikowske is the next drug czar, pot laws will be re-examined.
βHe'll be a 100 percent improvement over anyone who has held the position previously, that's for damn sure," said Douglas Hiatt, a defender of medical marijuana.
Hiatt is a well-known Seattle attorney who defends users of medical marijuana full time. Hiatt worked with Kerlikowske on implementing Initiative 75, which made marijuana enforcement one of the lowest priorities for his officers on the streets.

I have hope. I mean, if this guy already has a track record, then what's to stop him from making it a national thing?

If everyone would please call and flood President Barack Obamaβs own message line at 202-456-1111 or 202-456-1414 and tell him we want him to REPEAL our Federal marijuana/hemp laws now, every day until our Federal Gov. Repeals all marijuana/hemp laws, then βWe the peopleβs voices will be finally heard loud and clear! Copy this and pass it along! MAKE A DIFFERENCE! CALL

sounds like just the guy for the job, now when police kick in your doors and beat you half to death only to find a couple of roaches in the ashtray, someone can be there to say "they were doing their duty, they were after DRUG OFFENDERS", "Drugs were found", "those officers put their lives on the line every day!"

I'm ambidextrous. It's a bitch sometimes deciding which hand to use. I write with my right and throw with my left and catch with my right.

If this were OTD I'd tell you to catch with his left hand.
Then I'd have posted a picture of some left handed fisting.
Clearly that's unacceptable here

Most people who write with their right hand, throw with their right hand and catch with their left. I can actually throw and catch with my left and write almost as well with my left hand. But normally I write with my right. Back to the original subject. They need to legalize weed.

I think Kerlikowske is a perfect choice, anything more progressive, and Obama would be viewed as a partisan by the Republicans.
Compromise people, this is a long term thing! Legalization isn't gonna happen overnight.

This could work out since he hasn't really acted against laws passed that made marijuana the lowest priority for police in Seattle. Hopefully he'll allow some form of decriminalization / Relegalization.
