Good angle for the story. Obama was completely stoned his whole time here at occidental college--it would be hilarious to see his transcripts. So in 2008, he said he'd let states decide on medical marijuana. He lied. Why? For votes back then from all us stony people. So now he starts crackin' down. Why? Big Pharma--pander, pander, pander. Doesn't he have presidential duties to tend to, such as providing jobs and fixing the economy? Sheesh!

Like growing soybeans or corn, marijuana agriculture builds wealth. Paying the DEA to stop this does not build wealth. As you said, why is Obama not more concerned about the jobs created by this industry? Government over-regulation usually means that jobs are shipped overseas, as with most of our manufacturing sector. The Mexican peasants and cartels are more than happy to provide the weed.

So very sad.

His stance while he was still Candidate Obama led me to support him with money and time. Fool me once ...

We can argue the legitimacy and beneficial qualities of marijuana until we're blue in the face. It is illegal for ECONOMIC REASONS. And NOT the HEALTH of our national economy- but to keep businesses with deep pockets who are threatened by the multifaceted usefullness of the hemp plant, namely pharmaceutical companies and oil companies, safe in the game with no real competition. The gov't will turn a blind eye to the evidence no matter how OBVIOUS it is, as long as there are lobbyists and as long as the lips of politics rest securely on the nuts of business. Choosing between two figureheads to put in office is not a viable solution to this obtuse BELLIGERENCE. JFK 2012

White House Drug Czar (cut through the BS translator):

"Even though research has already shown marijuana to be an effective medicine for a variety of medical conditions, relieving pain, nausea and other symptoms for countless numbers of people. We are, of course, backing the FDA's decision to look after their bedfellow, big pharma, who would most likely see a decrease in profits should marijuana become even more available and affordable for patients with no legal consequences."

"BS Translator". So true.

I don't think Mitt's crew is going to be any better than Obama's team on marijuana; they might even be worse. At least we have some members in congress that are trying to help: "Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) today vowed to continue fighting to end any federal raids and prosecution of patients and suppliers who use and sell medical marijuana in compliance with state law. The House last night defeated a bipartisan amendment that Hinchey, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Congressman Sam Farr (D-CA), and Congressman Tom McClintock (R-CA)". http://www.newschannel34.com/c...

I doubt BHO has changed his view on gay marriage in thelast few days... This is about votes...nothing more -nothing less. The MM minded voteris not likely to vote for Team LDS Romney - so this remains strategic from thestart. As far as the raids on MM - most, if not all, have been on the big MJmoney makers...not small time medicine makers...There's a big difference. If a dispensaryis NON PROFIT they are safe...if not, there just sellin pot!

Keeping this drug illegal is pushing it to underground and shady criminals who end up lacing the drug with whatever they want to which will get you addicted or add more weight to the product. The stuff they lace it with can cause many different health problems. If you suspect your kid may be smoking marijuana I strongly suggest you take a look at what they could end up smoking because of the government being greedy and trying to throw the issue under the carpets by saying there are more important issues. This has went on long enough as it is. We do not want these criminals to continue to control this relatively harmless substance. Please legalize and regulate it for the sake of our youth and our future.

I don't know where you got the idea that weed is laced with hard drugs by dealers. IMHO you would see/smell the difference. Plus, no dealer would waste $60 worth of meth to lace a $10 bag of pot. Just sayin.

ShesGotBillsToPay

If it meant getting someone addicted to your stuff,then yes a dealer would indeed lace the weed with ANY other drug. Meth is sooo damn cheap to make and most of that is just laced with rat poison and the like to keep the fiends coming back.

kckola2

Meth has rat poison in it? I better stop then........but still there are so many reasons that weed cant be legitimized and all of the reasons are political. The government and the underground will take major hits if weed becomes legal. Since the government is the underground you can bet your bottom buck that weed will never see a legal day......So what shall we do....
