It's not that President Obama is a tool, in fact i very much disagree. How would it look for Obama, the nations first African American, who by the way has experimented with marijuana, to legalize it? It would look terrible of course. Many people already judge him because he is African American, it would just reinforce their idea that Black people are stereotypical pot smokers. Oh, and Obama couldnt just say "hey everyone, weeds legal now!" he would have to present the idea to congress who would then vote on it. And yes, state law can preside over federal law in many cases. Weed is illegal, but it has been made legal in California under certain terms. So there are many factors in why Obama chooses not to legalize weed. Though i do think it should be legal. Not just for all you stoners who don't want to get arrested, but so mexico can stop making so much money off us, so we don't support all the murderous drug lords, so the jails are not full of regular people who got caught with an ounce, and so that the government can make more money during this recession. If marijuana is made legal in the future its going to get the shit taxed out of it. There will also be many regulations, such as driving penalties and where you do it with whom. It will most likely not be made legal to minors. But the scientific evidence is it is less addictive than alcohol, and both less addictive and less harmful than cigarettes. This is long i know, sorry. But if you care about the legalization of pot you would have found this informative.
Thank you. Yes bud is important but the economy is more important right now. He needs to get all of our unemployed people some jobs so they can go buy some but first.
... We are at war but he is not helping that. He wants to lower spending. Besides that, It would help economy. Have you seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M6orSr5QvA ranked fairly high? It was top ranked, and im just throwin this in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBMYxoveUNY and why not this one too, hes doin real well with the war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn5SOB0zbKg&feature=channel_page
Actually he is working on the war, it was one of the 1st things he did to announce a plan to leave Iraq within 19 months and send more troops to Afghanistan. And yes legalizing marijuana and taxing it would help the economy, but honestly despite what potheads want to think it really wouldn't be that much, it'd help just as much as anything else would help, it's not going to save the economy. Combine with the legal, moral and political issues around legalizing marijuana, there are just in fact more important things to deal with right now.
he cant decriminalize it on his own he needs to have congress and individual states back him up thats how our government works there are checks and balances and no one man can ever make a single decision but he has made steps three weeks ago he made it illegal for the DEA to bust medicinal marijuana clinics so they cant use federal money to bust them anymore
