Obama And Marijuana

[garyfisher]

Hi everybody, I received an email from the justsaynow.com organization. Mr obama is going to again take questions from the internet. If anyone remembers last time he did this, marijuana legalization was number 1 question asked. Lets make it that again and lets not let our elected officials blow off the number one asked question.

 

 

 

Marijuana reform is dominating the list of questions President Obama will be answering as part of his continued State of the Union address tomorrow night. Pot is already in the top questions - can you make sure the top questions for Obama are about marijuana?

 

This is an incredible opportunity to hear Obama's views on drug policy. Our friends at Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) have a great question at the top of the list, and we're asking supporters to help keep it there for Obama to see.

 

Click here to visit the Ask Obama YouTube page. Then search for "POLICE OFFICER" on the right, and click the thumbs up button of the marijuana question to cast your vote.

 

Retired Deputy Sheriff and LEAP speaker MacKenzie Allen asks:

 

"As a police officer, I saw how waging the war on drugs has cost a trillion dollars and thousands of lives but does nothing to reduce drug use. Should we discuss legalizing marijuana and other drugs, which would eliminate the violent criminal market?"

 

It's an important question that we think Obama should answer. Can you help us make sure he does by giving LEAP's question a 'thumbs up'?

I agree should be number one issue but want to note that the number

one issue should be MEDICAL marijuana at the top of the list.

everything else secondary

Should be legal for anyone over 21 to use marijuana as alcohol is and has been.

I agree with Retta , I think every one is using Cannabis to self medicate, I've done it for forty years. And if the Government cared about our health they would ban cigarettes and booze, far more dangerous drugs .
