Barack Obama thinks he can decrease the demand for Marijuana

Aggregated From High Times Magazine - May 2011 - Page 15

Barack Obama thinks decreasing the demand for illegal drugs is the answer. Even if he could magically decrease the demand for overwhelmingly popular products that have been in demand longer than almost everything, should he? It's an immoral way of looking at life, Obama thinks he knows yourself better than you do. How the fuck would he know what drugs or medicine we need. Anyway, the following is from High Times:   

THAT WASN'T THE QUESTION!

In late January, President Obama sat down for his second Q-and-A session wigth YouTube. Thousands of questions were submitted and, like last year, the most popular topic was the legalization of marijuana. In fact, at one point prior to the online interview, the top 50 questions were pot-related.

Now last year, Obama was shockingly dismissive about cannabis, chortling about the top question, and remarking that "this must say something about our interview audience." He went on to say he doesn't see marijuana as a means to reviving our economy.

This year's program was hardly different. The issue of marijuana wasn't addressed until two-thirds through the 39 minute interview. When the question was raised, Obama was questioned about the legalization of all drugs; marijuana specifically, never came up.

Obama said it was an "entirely legitimate" issue for debate, but that he didn't support legalization, that drugs were actually a "public health issue, and that the goal was to decrease demand". He also blathered on about "shifting resources" and "being strategic".

The only strategy we saw, was the President avoiding the marijuana question once again.

- Note from MMJ USA: There is nothing Progressive about how the President approaches this issue. He obviously has no intent of righting this wrong. He has no intention of telling the DEA to stay the fuck out of our peaceful neighborhoods and lives. He has no intention of squashing the border war, he has no intentions of letting Americans grow and sell American grown marijuana, Obama has no intention of keeping otherwise law abiding youths out of prison... etc, etc..

So, in the nicest way possible, fuck Obama!... He isn't progressive for shit. Ive seen more progressive thought come out of my Fox News watching Brother. I will be voting for someone else this time. In my opinion, all Progressive thinking individuals should do the same. There isn't anything progressive about Obama's actions... A few of his words are Progressive, but his actions are speaking much louder.
