6. and a reminder: more people in CA voted for medical marijuana than voted for Clinton
in 1996.

More people in that state thought this issue was important enough to get out and vote for it than thought it mattered who was president or, if they did care, than voted for the Democratic candidate.

so, if Obama doesn't think this is a priority, his current stance, attacking state implementation, demonstrates he is tone deaf to the will of the American people on this issue.

Legalization will be on the ballot in CA and CO in 2012.

If Obama wants the votes of those who support legalization, he should stop trying to interfere with states whose citizens have decided they want to end prohibition.
