Politics in the U.S.A has absolutly nothing to do with HONESTY, SCIENCE, LOGIC, COMPASSION, OR THE CONSTITUTION. The goverment has been on the wrong side of these in one way or another for most if not all of it's history. Politics in the USA is about VOTES, only VOTES and nothing but VOTES. If I was paid to advise Obama I would tell him to answer the question on Change.org just the way he did. Why stick your neck out for a bunch of stoners, they'll vote for you anyway. When they STOP voting for you, THEN you can give them some respect. re Kushshirts: Your obviously a Obama employee: I’ll say it again..

Someone though said Politics aren't about "Science or Honesty". Hmmmm Truth be told then what is Politics about in this Country? I think that the Obama campaign brought Politics back to Truth and hopefully started a trend for Future American Politics. Very nice article.

Actually if I was high right now I'd be watching TV instead of trying to make a difference. Which brings me to my next point. Obama knows what marijuana is and what it isn't. We all know that if he'd been busted when he was 19 he would not be President now. We all know that if he had not dropped the weed when he was 20, he would would not be president now. YOU CAN NOT HAVE EVERYTHING. I was born the same year as Obama. I probably started blazing the same year as Obama. I hope to never be in a mug shot but I really doubt I'll ever be in a history book. His dream was to set the world on fire, my dream was to fire one up. That said, remember that line PRIMARY COLORS " He throws great parties, the only problem is he invites his friends and some of them really suck". On his own I would never vote for Joe Biden, and from what I've heard, as a general sleaze this Emmanuel guy would give me the creeps if he was my dealer. Let's give Obama a year or two before giving him the Bill Clinton award for hypocracy. Don't make an ass of yourself on his website. Whenever I win an argument it's by using my opponents own words. 1. I am not in favor of marijuana prohibition and will not vote for anyone who is. 2. Dear Mr. President. When I voted for CHANGE I meant CHANGE FOR THE BETTER, hope this note clears up any confusion, See ya (or not, it's totally up to you) in 2012.

It's a false goal and a trap. What we want is the same regulations as alcohol, nothing more nothing less. Under decrimilization your employment is still conditioned on a drug test. A man just died in a Medical Marijuana state, he was refuse a organ transplant because of his legal MM usage. If and when we FINALLY get national health care in this country, you can bet your bottom dollar that benefits will be denied anyone who tests positive for Marijuana, and you will be tested every doctor or hospital visit. A friend of mine was Killed when a very drunk driver was driving the wrong way on the interstate and hit him head on, his family's lawyer told them to forget about a lawsuit, his corpse tested positive for traces of marijuana. That said (non blazing) America would reap many benifits from decrimilization. Not waisting law enforcement resources, not filling up the prisons, not pissing away so much money on the WOD. If you want to continue blazing under even nationwide decrimilization you just better be very healthy (or able to pay for health care out of pocket), and very wealthy (don't need to work for a living and have a chauffer to drive you around. Then again if your already a multimillionaire rock star you can smoke now. Vote like a Beast While were at it let’s decommission the notion of decrimilization. It’s a false goal and a trap.

Some people (according to polls a minority) want marijuana to remain illeagle, and they WILL NOT vote for anyone who compromises that position. Others (according to most polls a majority) want marijuana to be treated the same as alcohol and tobacco, but they agree to disagree with the politician about marijuana and look for other issues they can work together on. Honestly, based on mathmatical science. If you were running for office and seriously wanted to win. What would your position be. Politics is not about “science or honesty “, it’s about votes.
