I think it's a little silly to rule the idea out. I'm not a pot-smoker but I figure if we're going to allow tobacco and alcohol, why not legalize the weed. Tax it. Plus it really does help some medical problems. I remember when my grandma was dying of cancer, my uncle would make her pot brownies. They made her feel better and she could eat. Which were good things.

In related news, President Obama's approval ratings slipped to a new low of 3% following the Meeting.

The important thing is that people were high when they voted for me."

--Barack H.

legalize cocaine, ecstasy and herion too and then we will party! OBAMA in 2012!

We can't afford the war on drugs any longer. Every level of government would save big $$$ if we ended it.

I don't know what this says about the online audience

He doesn't know? I think it is pretty obvious what it says about the online audience, isn't it? It says there are a bunch of people in this country --many of these people he will need if he wants another term-- that want to see some sensible legislation promoted from the WH regarding cannabis.

Meet the new boss....

If Obama had said he would entertain legalization he would have given the wingding haters more fodder to ingest, defecate and fling at their fellow countrymen that they determine is enjoying unsuitable "freedoms" (what they just do).

I suspect he will let the states re prioritize prosecutions, and then decriminalize (its already happening).

Prosecutions in our area for simple possession has practically disappeared.

Obama laughed it off, hmmmm?

Sounds to like he was stoned.

he would have given the wingding haters more fodder to ingest

Who gives a shit? The "wingding haters" aren't voting for him in three years no matter what is answer was. Fuck them, let 'em whine.

You aren't saying Obama should consider these muppets when making policy or statements are you? If so, what the hell is the point of electing a "liberal" if he just governs to the lowest common denominator?

This is a pretty tone-deaf moment for Obama. It's not a joke to legalize marijuana to get a bunch of non-violent offenders out of jail, end the harrassment of medicinal marijuana patients and providers, and help the economy in states like California. Marijuana prohibition makes as much sense as alcohol prohibition did. I'm extremely disappointed he treated the question that way, and it shows disrespect for the people who participated in submitting and rating questions for his online town hall.

If Obama had said he would entertain legalization he would have given the wingding haters more fodder to ingest, defecate and fling at their fellow countrymen that they determine is enjoying unsuitable "freedoms" (what they just do).

So what? If he favors legalization and didn't say it -- for fear of what his critics would think -- that would be lousy leadership.

I think it's more likely he opposes it and would like to avoid the subject entirely.

"Prosecutions in our area for simple possession has practically disappeared."

Yeah - Obama sent a secret memo to all the State Police. LOL

I like how RNV posts, and about 38 people from every political viewpoint show up to just destroy everything he said. What a moron.

Are you suggesting that Obama lied about his position, because he secretly wants decriminalization of marijuana but would rather play politics with our economy?
#10 | Posted by LIVE_OR_DIE at 2009-03-27 11:46 AM

Umm, I don't think I mentioned "secret" or that he "is for" decriminalizing.

I believe what I said is that I think he will encourage the states to do what's practical and fiscally responsible, and that would be to clear the courts and jails of weed smokers (i.e. decriminalize).
Considering the wingding cabal is in full derail mode and waiting for any opportunity to undermine the sitting president of the USA, its political suicide to sacrifice the rest of his agenda on a could be wedge issue so early in the game.

Post #14, 38 people?

Yeah - Obama sent a secret memo to all the State Police. LOL

It wasn't secret.

"WASHINGTON Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Wednesday outlined a shift in the enforcement of federal drug laws, saying the administration would effectively end the Bush administration's frequent raids on distributors of medical marijuana."

The way Obama chuckles all the time during interviews, I'd swear he's sparking a blunt beforehand.

"I think he will encourage the states to do what's practical and fiscally responsible"

You suggested that he's already done so, in that prosecutions in your area have "practically disappeared." Presumably this would have had to have been a secret, since none of us have seen a press release or news conference announcing this sweet new policy.

"It wasn't secret."

The supposed end on raids to medical marijuana facilities has nothing to do with "legalization" which is what RNV is talking about. Try reading for a change.

Of course. There's no way Obama is going to spend any political capital on this issue, regardless of his personal views.

That's why I said:

I choose to interpret this as a bit of a move towards sanity and a more correct approach to state's rights. Not far enough, but a step.

If Obama's reversing Federal intrusion against state law on medical marijuana use and distribution, it is an improvement and perhaps, a move towards letting States determine their own drug policy.

And for Christ's sake, I don't want it to start being taxed.

They have been looking the other way for a long time in regards to casual pot smokers. That's fine with me.

Dude, it's Joe. He counts about as well as he analyzes the law. Don't harass him, feel sorry for him.

I believe there is real reason for Obama to steer clear of the marijauna issue because there are thousands of law enforcement people who depend on drug laws to make jobs for them. It isn't impossible that no president could openly oppose them out of fear of assasination. I think that it is also true of the financial industries. When there are industries making hundreds of billions of dollars some of those in those industries consider their employment and benefits to be their right which they will defend with violence and feel completey justified.

You don't think that taking it off the black market would reduce the price? Still, I don't think anybody is going to legalize any time soon since many people would sooner grow their own than they would pay retail for it.

I think one might get a more thoughtful answer from him in a different situation or a different year of his admin, but I too doubt he supports it.

"but I too doubt he supports it."

Personally? Maybe he does support legalization.

Politically as President? Abso-fucking-lutely not.

"So what? If he favors legalization and didn't say it -- for fear of what his critics would think -- that would be lousy leadership."

Sometimes Leadership requires practicality.
I'm not arguing your assertion; it may very well be the case.
I however think it's more a calculation that people in general are more accepting of baby steps over a big leap. You come out and say "Legalization" now and the whole process comes to a screeching halt while simultaneously giving the "Black or Whites" a huge "Grey" to beat the new president over the head with!

No. No "secret" memo, just an observation of the warrants being issued in our area this year compared to those issued in the last decade.

Someone missed the memo since they just had a medicinal pot store raided by the feds in CA.

Hagbard,

Interesting about Bloomburg since I found this quote.

Michael Bloomberg (NY mayor)
When asked if he ever smoked pot, he replied, "You bet I did. And I enjoyed it!"

Also interesting to note that our last three Presidents all admited to smoking pot but all refused to legalize.

Legalizing pot is like Single-payer health care; it may be the best solution, but it is said to be politically impractical.

38 was an exaggeration. Anyone who thinks that was my actual count is a fucking retard.

I liked this part:
Let's ignore for a moment that Obama's answer, in and of itself, is deeply wrong and ill-informed; moving from zero taxes on weed to any taxes is obviously an increase in revenue, not to mention the shift of growing and supplying jobs from the black market to legitimacy, which means more revenue in income taxes and more jobs.

Another swing and a miss for Obama and another liberal calling him on it. So much for that "you cannot say anything bad about 'The Great One'"

"I think it's more likely he opposes it and would like to avoid the subject entirely."

Are you joking?

Obama is a politician through-and-through. He doesn't let on what he thinks - instead, he let's us think whatever we want that makes us feel good.

Thus, if you support legalization of marijuana - 'hey man (wink, wink) I'm with ya (he he)'. He seems fairly transparent to me.

it'll expand our economy relating to salty snack foods, which is a good thing.

of course Obama supports it. it'll be the new opiate of the masses. keep 'em stoned and stupid, and he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

just keep the tax refund checks coming to those who have to pay no taxes in the first place, and what you have is a winning recipe for dictatorship.

Not even then because the Congress will still need to be re-elected. The only real chance for this lies with the SCOTUS and their declaring the war on drugs violates the 10th Amendment and is unconstitutional. If it took an amendment to outlaw alcohol, then why does it not take one to outlaw other drugs?

I think their best bet is to quietly tell the Feds to stop interfering in states that decriminalize pot. Let the Rtards bitch about him supporting state's rights.

Agreed. I think they use expansive view of commerce clause. They should let the states decide this. Nice strategy Axe. - Rtard who actually thinks it is a state issue.

I think they use expansive view of commerce clause.
I think they do as well, but their arguement is weak. They say "drugs from California will go to Arizona and that falls under Congress" and that may be true, but wouldn't you need to prove that was happening before you could legally act on it? Assumption of guilt is not a basis of justice in America I always thought.

If it took an amendment to outlaw alcohol, then why does it not take one to outlaw other drugs?

Perfectly reasonable question and one I have posed to a few Federal Judges. The 'best' answer I have been given is the "necessary and proper" clause of A1S8 --which was a BIG sticking point in a few of the Federalists Papers and even some anti-Federalist Papers-- has been "expanded" to include "dangerous" habits of Americans.

Of course Congress isn't forced to give a compelling argument for WHY cannabis is dangerous, and they wouldn't be able to if asked. No one has ever offered any proof that pot is dangerous, ever, in 12,000 years of use.

I think we potheads need to infiltrate the enemy and promote a Constitutional Amendment just like the 18th. Let's have a National debate followed by a direct vote with a 2/3rds requirement to ban cannabis. It will fail. Then the game is up.

R8R,
You are the first person to ever attempt to answer that question and I have been asking it since 1990. Thank you and I agree we take a page from the anti-Draft people and we pro-Pot people put forth an amendment to outlaw pot and have it fail, which should default to decriminalization.

What they allow under commerce clause, though, is a total joke. All they have to do is show a rational basis existed for concluding that a regulated activity sufficiently affected interstate commerce.

So, no, they can come up with all kinds of shit to show a rational basis without proving squat. Gonzales v. Raich already decided the marijuana deal.

BS if you ask me. I never liked Ashcroft or Gonzales.

You have fun with yours.

Many,
Potheads are great at coming up with plans, not so much with following them through. Remember the Simpson's movement to legalize? "Everyone remember to vote this Tuesday!" "But it's Wednesday, the election was yesterday, and we lost!"

No one has ever offered any proof that pot is dangerous, ever, in 12,000 years of use.:

What are the short-term dangers of smoking marijuana?

Impaired memory and inability to learn
Difficulties in thinking and problem solving
Distorted Perception
Anxiety attacks or feelings of paranoia
Impaired muscle coordination and judgment
Increased susceptibility to infections
Burning and stinging of mouth and throat
Impairment in driving skills
Increases the heart rate in normal people and worsens heart rate in with heart disease or high blood pressure.

What are the long-term dangers of smoking marijuana?

Studies shows that the potential chemical THC, present in marijuana adversely affect human brain and mental health.
Regular use of marijuana shows the same respiratory problems as cigarette smoking. Persistent coughing, symptoms of bronchitis and more frequent chest colds are possible symptoms.
Studies shows that long-term use of marijuana suppresses the production of hormones that help regulate the reproductive system both in men and women.
Highly increases the risk of heart attack in regular users.
Smoking marijuana on regular basis increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the head or neck.
It has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because of the various carcinogens present in it.
It may badly affect the immune system's ability to fight disease.
Chronic marijuana use causes high levels of depression, anxiety.
Adversely affects the power of memory and learning.

Logic is not welcome in threads about drug legalization, gun control or abortion.

Seperate from marijauna but still a related issue is hemp. We could be making all kinds of stuff out of it including energy. It's crazy that it is still illegal. America seriously needs to review many of our laws and ask ourselves if there is any logical reason for them or if they are actually preventing industries that would help the country recover.

Elc,
Based on your own link..

What link? He just posted a bunch of unaccredited nonsense that has been trounced by unbiased science.

EVERYTHING is bad for you if it isn't in moderation. Everything. Drink too much water and you'll die.

Either way, the point is to prove how it is "dangerous" to the governemnt, thus the American people --so that the N&P clause can apply-- and none of those things (even if they were true) comes close.

Kanrei,

Have you read American Scream? If not I suggest you do.

And I assume that you have his DVD Bill Hicks Live.

Many, Not into live DVDs, so no, but I have him on my mp3 player. Didn't know about him until I got Sirius and heard him on the stand up station.

Assumption of guilt is not a basis of justice in America

Rarely is it appropriate to use Justice in relation to our Legal System.

We've opted for the appearance of jurisprudence by letting the lawyers self-regulate the courts.

Here in Boone County it was in the news last week that a lawyer got busted with something like 300 plants. Obviously he didn't import the seedlings, and with a land grant college nearby he could probably obtain seed from a local source.

Cannabis is like wheat. It can be grown anywhere on the planet, and even adjust it's growing season. So there's really no necessity for California to ship marijuana to Arizona if both states allow its production. And there are varieties specifically bred for indoor cultivation.

They could reschedule pot so it can be prescribed, allow the states to grow it, or contract within the state, and lift the ban on hemp. All the numbers I see focus on the revenue that marijuana would bring in, but hemp is a cash crop and it can be grown on marginal soils, in drains that are now grassed over and provide little economic value, and it provides the most biomass per acre which should be a feedstock component of the cellulosic ethanol process Obama talked about in his campaign.

But he's already positioning for a second term. Not smart to piss off the drug companies, the LEOs who like playing hotshot and busting down doors, and oh would the Republicans have a field day with Fox reporting any and every incident pot related.

The Carter Administration gave a pass on pot, but because it wasn't regulated like alcohol kids in high school were smoking it and passing the joint to little sis who used it as a segway to ridding herself of her virginity. That sparked a movement in none other than Georgia, and it strengthened Reagan's hand in resurrecting the War on Pot.

The ObamaMamas can be coy about it, stop busting the "pharmacies" but they're simply making the same mistake twice in following the "see no evil" routine of the late 70's. The whole administration is like deja vu redux. The Great White Hope even has the former First Lady out there flying into foreign lands and being subjected to sniper fire. Any bets on a bimbo eruption?

If pot is legalized it is going to have to come from the state level. Obama has already made a big change but deciding not to enforce the federal law in states that have legalized (decriminalized) it to some degree.

Insert your own grass roots joke here.

I'm sorry, I was still coughing after my last bong hit, what're we talking about?

HEmp and marijauna are just two issues that make me thing this country will never significantly change until we the people have a major movement to force politicians to finally, once and for all, eliminate lobbyists, corporate campaign contributions, corporate personhood. When that is accomplished America will be a free country ruled by the consent of the governed, til then it is an oligarchy and we are really peasants.

Moderation is the key to life, whether its pot, booze, sex, religion or politics.

I've got my usual four plants potted and out on the porch where they get the sun for most of the day and can't be seen from the street. I live next to LAX so there's no snoopy LAPD helicopters buzzing around. Somewhere around late May I'll start snipping buds and vacuum bagging them for the winter. In my research to increase the potency, I stumbled across a reliable technique to keep the plant distressed but sufficiently hydrated. By late August, the smell from the buds on the plants wafting through the courtyard has my neighbors lined up at my front door. I give most of my crop away as there's no way I've got enough time in the day to consume everything I grow. I usually barter hot meals or unwanted dvds or video games for it. I never accept cash as that has a karma on it I'd rather not deal with.

If I'm in a mood for something different, a fella with a medical marijuana prescription is a short car ride away, but I've found it's usually from the same basic sativa seed stock my plants came from.

Everything in moderation.

That we focus our resources on the most prevalent threat to this country.

We need to make things that other countries will line up to buy, like technology that produces clean energy.

The military threat can be handled, and we don't need troops in foreign countries to do that. England ruled the seas and did well until they started dominating countries with their army.

The drug war in Mexico ranks highest in domestic threat. If the cartels can transport weapons, ammo, and any drug they choose across the border, then what keeps them from running some wackos with bombs?
