The fine hippies over at StopTheDrugWar.org are furious with President-elect Barack Obama.
Why? Because he doesn’t plan to legalize marijuana in the foreseeable future—if ever.
Their red-eyed outrage began with Obama’s homepage, Change.gov, which solicited questions from Obama supporters and determined the popularity of each one based on the total number of responses.
Unsurprisingly, marijuana’s legalization topped the list, but the Chronicle Blog took personal offense to Obama’s camp answering the question fourth.
Scott Morgan of the Chronicle Blog writes:
Not only did Obama’s team fail to explain the "no" answer, but they didn’t even honor the 1st place popularity rank the question earned when it drew the most votes from the public.
There’s nothing surprising about any of this, but it is indeed perfectly emblematic of the profound lack of seriousness with which this issue is treated in our political culture. The marijuana question was answered second to last and received the shortest response of all the questions.
OK, so Obama answered the question with a cold, unnerving, resounding “no.”
Would it have really made a difference if he had responded with a three-part dissertation that still concluded with a refusal to legalize marijuana?
The answer, yet again, is “no.”
You have to walk before you run, fellow hippies. Let’s get marijuana decriminalized first, and then shoot for the heavens.







Stumble It























A class I substance that is as lethal as this, surely they is atleast one dead body they can point to?
Maybe someone choked on a brownie at some point?
Hell GW almost choked to death on a pretzel, does that make pretzels more dangerous, hell that's one more that I have seen for this Class I substance. Posted 12/17/2008 11:45 AMReply
Abraham Lincoln December 18, 1840, to the Illinois House of Representatives.
These are the words of Barack's hero, let's hope he has the courage to do the right thing. I will not vote for him again if he does not honor a society that tolerates minority rights. Posted 12/17/2008 12:11 PMReply
The ONLY logical policy for controlling marijuana is the same one we use today to control alcohol - legal production and sale by licensed, reputable businesses. Posted 12/17/2008 5:07 PMReply

It's time for a change. And not a slow and gradual change. An immediate change is necessary. Don't support decriminalization, Support 100% legalization Posted 12/22/2008 10:03 AMReply
When good people obey bad law, bad law never changes. The question is this: Should our civil disobedience continue to be peaceful? Posted 12/26/2008 3:24 PMReply
