Which congress man or woman can we write to that will create the biggest splash for us? How can I contact Obama’s representatives or cabinet members to express my 20 years of use and discontent with being ‘black balled’ by our society, and made a criminal by our government? I’ve been complacent fort 20 years and I believe it is time for me to wake up and write some letters to a greqat number of individuals.

Thanks in advance!

Well, the big answer has been posted. “Obama doesn’t support the legalization of marijuana”… that’s it. Practically not even a sentence. Of course, all the other questions have a whole paragraph dedicated to answering them.

Seriously, though, did anybody here actually expect anything different? He said he wasn’t in favor of it to begin with. This is the reason why I didn’t vote for Obama – he’s a typical politician. There will be no “Change”. Just like how he voted for FISA last year, it will be more of the same crap. If people want change, they should vote 3rd party.

Oh well, at least it shows that the public is interested in drug law reform.

We are delusional. It will never become legal. No one has the political guts. We are now and forever screwed.
Welcome to the land of the free.

I want to see some real ORGANIZATION. Obama won because he had it, the NRA wields more power than it should because it has it.

The motivation behind organizations that achieve their goals requires dead-set belief in their purpose. If we do not believe that marijuana should be legalized to the point that we go off on rants on the same scale that members of the NRA go on rants about their 2nd Amendment rights, marijuana will never be legal. You have to want it so much that it keeps you working and fighting.

NORML and other marijuana activists must come together with a level of purpose, dedication and tenacity not yet seen if prohibition will finally end.

The drug war addiction is on both sides of the party line. Actually, anyone thinking there is more than one party is nuts. There is no significant difference between them, they are both owned by by the large corporations and banks. The drug policies will get worse in this administration, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight them on this issue. It is because we’ve believed the system works that we have always failed. We’ve believed the thieves would not steal our inherent rights, and we act surprised when they do. Having said that, I’ve put 26 questions up myself. Because I believe we can win if we all stand together. But it will take far more activism than just sitting in front of a computer screen to do it. Peace, Jim

It is very disappointing that he totally brushed off that question. It is even more disappointing that in the beginning of the campaign he was making promises about ending the raids on MM Dispensaries and now he just seems like any other politician dodging the question as if it were a shoe and not even giving an intelligent answer.
Our voice has to be heard.Everybody that wants Marijuana legalized should just go to Washington in herds and protest while sparking it up. And if we have to be taken in handcuffs and in herds they wont be able to arrest all of us! In herds I tell you! And blow smoke in all of those cops and contact high the shit out of Washington.(takes bong hit) We should all do this just like in the 60’s . It doesn’t matter to me anymore what Obama wants or what the fat chief of police wants or what the czar wants it is about what we want people it is our right to smoke and that right was taken from us. This is not the end of this. This is just the beginning. There is a Real Million Marijuana March on DC – July 4th 2009 Everyone that truly feels passionate about ending the marijuana prohibiton laws should go to this event. http://current.com/items/89509842/

Guys I’m in favor of legalization as much as anybody, but don’t you think Obama has bigger fish to fry? The economy (domestic and global) is in serious crisis, we are fighting an unpopular war on two seperate fronts, and unemployment is sky-rocketing. Let’s put any of those issues (seperately or combined, you pick) on an “Importance Scale” and see which one wins.

All this does is show us how much work we have ahead of us. This is just the begining of our movement, if we want this to happen, we must all work together to make it happen.

Keep up the work!
