This has everything to do with Politics and politics alone. Obama is treading VERY lightly with legalizing pot because he doesn't want a bad image to fall on him...don't forget he'll be up for a re-election he's thinking about with every decision he makes. Not to mention he said directly before the election that he has no intention of legalizing MJ, this would be used against him by the right wing severely if he changed his stance. If it was up to him it would of been legalized yesterday, he is the President after all. But he doesn't want to be labeled as the "Pro-drug President." Like everything in Politics this will take years, and it may be something that the Obama administration may not touch until his second term should he be re-elected, since it's a sensitive issue for many people still. And what about draconian states like Florida where it's a felony to posess 20 grams...how lonbg will it take those states to make progress?...a very long time I'd imagine. But in the meantime keep writing your reps and the Department of Justice...keep the pressure on! Most of you are missing the point. This has everything to do with Politics and politics alone.

After the civil war, corrupt government first passed 'grandfather clauses' to prevent the newly freed slaves from actually voting. When those laws were struck down as unconstitutional, the corrupt government outlawed the drugs minorities were using instead of drinking the white man's alcohol, so they could replace slave labor with prison labor. tinyurl.com/1mn tinyurl.com/potconviction it’s not a war on (some) drugs, it’s a war on minorities.
