This smells like some Repugs in the chain of command trying to embarrass Obama and shift attention from health care, as a few others have noted. I see a lot of Obama-bashers blaming him for this but it’s a safe bet he didn’t order it or know about it beforehand. I hope he tracks down and fires the dishonest schemers that engineered it. You know they knew full well what they were doing, and they succeeded, but Obama if he plays this smart will just tell the Attorney General to deschedule MJ as a way to end Prohibition-style abuses of government and save billions of dollars too. HOW MUCH MONEY CAN WE SAVE IN THE BUDGET BY ENDING THE WAR ON DRUGS, EXACTLY? OBAMA WE ARE READY FOR THE CHANGE YOU PROMISED.

Lets quit being ridiculous and using a word that will never ever ever be used and that word is legalization. How about we use the word DECRIMINALIZATION, alcohol and cigarrettes aren’t even LEGAL, legalization would allow four year olds to buy pot… thats not smart at all seeing to how we all know that the use of marijuana takes a certain amount of responsibility.

PUSH FOR DECRIMINALIZATION AND REGULATION ALONG WITH TAXATION…

This is an outrage! Then again, Im not surprised. I sincerely think that Obama isnt going to do anything about the nations policy on marijuana, and I think this is a very sad thing.

A few weeks ago I watched my one of my best friends get a gun pulled to his head while purchasing a pound of marijuana – not just for him, it was for me as well as others. Our money got stolen and my other friend got in a car accident while trying to catch the thieves. Take the business of distributing marijuana AWAY from the criminals and cartels!!!! Prohibition is throwing money into the pockets of these criminals, and it is not fair for everyone that are NOT bad people but happen to smoke marijuana anyways. Incidents such as these would not happen if marijuana were regulated and distributed in a non-criminal/sketch-bag manner.

There is no reason to prohibit marijuana! I just don’t understand why the government cannot wrap there big, dumb head around it. I’ve heard them say marijuana has more carcinogens then a cigarette – even though this isnt true, it doesn’t change the fact that cigarettes kill more people then marijuana ever will. They say marijuana MIGHT cause psychosis after long term use – this isn’t clinically proven, and even if it was that doesn’t give right to prohibit a substance because of the fact.

Give it up already!!! Marijuana was made illegal for due to racist reasons! Stop living in the past! Listen to the medicinal facts, and more importantly listen to the PEOPLE who you are governing and who gives you the power!

I kept trying to tell people that Obama is just lying about many of the things he spoke about. I’m not up for McCain, but at least he does what he says, but I went for Ron Paul, who stated that we should follow the Constitution, get us out of supporting the rest of the world and correcting the debt, along with smaller government.

We will be paying for the rest of my life, what little there is! And we will pay for Obama’s GREEN tax also, could cost a lot of us over $3K a month. It taxes higher where you have non reusable energy, so if you have a coal generator, instead of a dam, the coal users pay into the energy tax. I didn’t have any say in what power plant was built or what it ran on!

BTW many of the laws we have are NOT logical, if they were they would keep “Common Law” instead of saying it doesn’t exist now and we will write all the laws. So if they forgot Murder (which they didn’t) it would not be illegal! So they drop in stuff like “Crimes against nature” in their statues, what the hell is that? Well I think it’s a CYA for missing something!

The next thing he will do (if he gets to it) is disarm all of us, he left a long anti-gun voting record and a long “Here, but no vote” on something. If we get though this, it will be a miracle! I live in the Western Montana and when I take my dogs out, I could run into black or Grizzly bears, we need guns to protect ourselves and our animals out here!

So a lot of you voted for him, thanks, just remember not only do you have to follow him, but for 4 more years.

Another angle that might be pursued is moving the MM to be overseen by the Health Education and Welfare group (house) to change it legal position instead of the Crime group (House).

I believe that the number I have is that we have 5% of the worlds population and 25% are incarcerated, most on minor drug holding offenses. I don’t think Obama can figure how much of that is black or minorities!

One other thing, when I was little everyone liked the cops, now that the War on Drugs (WOD) has been running since the end of the sixties, I find most people don’t like police anymore, what has changed? Mostly people are afraid that it’s going to cost them when police pull them over and if you are a smoker (even MM) then you are paranoid about the stop. Direct connection to the downfall of people having good will towards them. There are a lot of good cops, so don’t write them all off. Like LEAP!

Good Luck everyone!

P.S. You might look up LEAP (www.leap.cc) which is “Law Enforcement Against Prohibition” and they will take anyone into the group who believes that the war on drugs has done no good for anyone and should be repealed.
