Barack Obama

[Devilreject1]

I heard somewhere that if barack were elected that he would try to help decriminalize certain amounts.? Has anyone heard anything esle about this

[djcubez]

Not true. Only thing I can find on him is the one time he was asked if he smoked weed he said "I had my own reckless endeavors in my adolescence" or something like that. Then a reporter asked the Bill Clinton question "Did you inhale?" and he responded "I thought that was the point."

Basically, he's not pro-marijuana but he's not anti-marijuana. He wouldn't necessarily push the process of decriminalization and legalization but he doesn't seem like he'd stop it either.

[stiky dodo dumb]

its tru from what the TV spits out, in the newest issue of hightimes has an article on obama and cannabis, i think its junes issue, the one with miss hightimes on the cover.
wich is all very intertaining but even if he where to get their and push decrim/medical use he'd first want to free up the hemp traid soo we have more biofuils and lots more work=money for farmers wich may stimulate the economy re-introduceing an entier industry? hell if he campaigned 4 that he'd have Willie Nelson himself and half a million farmeers and truckers on his trail.


"I think we need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws," Mr. Obama told an audience during a debate at Northwestern University in 2004. "But I'm not somebody who believes in legalization of marijuana."

I am praying he gets elected/

[Mrs.Robinson]

U don't have to pray - just vote!

Legend, Bill Clinton said that.

Bill Clinton is that dude, he always has slick shit to say.

Obamas stand on this isn't bad at all, he's really whatever to it, more towards legalization than anything.

no, bill clinton said he didnt inhale. obama essentially said he did by making that remark. clinton was not slick at all. do you remember him asking what the definition of "is" is? reeeeaaaaal slick.

Thats what we said almost 40 years ago!!! In the early 70's (NORML was relatively new on the scene)rumor had it that RJ Reynolds and Phillip Morris had hundreds of thousands of acres of weed in Mexico. It was rumored that packaging and ad campaigns were in place just waiting for the day our gov't wised up and figured out that prohibition doesn't work. And this was back in the 70's.
I was thinking today about how stupid these laws are. It is not illegal to get intoxicated (Alcohol), only to do certain things while under the influence. Thats how it should be with ANY drug! Treating alcohol any different than other drugs is a grave mistake. I'd much rather find an ounce of weed in my kids room than a quart of Jack Daniels. I spent 25 years of my life in an alcoholic stupor. We (America)still haven't learned that prohibition does NOT work.
But to get back on topic, I believe that Barak is a glimmer of hope to get back to the USA our forefathers envisioned. Look at it this way....What has the current system done for US as citizens? He cannot screw anything up any more than things already are.
