1. The Obama Administration officially supports legal MMJ

[Angry Dragon]

2. You have yet to provide links to back up your opinions

here is your chance again


This administration only supports big pharma marijuana

[MindPilot]

4. Reality can be a harsh mistress.

That may have been true--like closing Gitmo and universal healthcare--during the campaign, but not today.

[Angry Dragon]

8. What is your definition of legal marijuana??

[mitchtv]

17. Hahaha

sure he does. How about, he believes in nothing?

[DLine]

3. Im a sucker for a hot chick in hipster glasses...

K & R just for that!

5. As always, follow the money trail. n/t

6. K&R

"As for medical marijuana ... I'm not familiar with all the details of the initiative that was passed, but I think the basic concept of using medical marijuana for the same purposes and with the same controls as other drugs prescribed by doctors, I think that's entirely appropriate. ... I'm not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue." http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080323/NEWS/803230336">~Barack Obama, The Mail Tribune - March 23, 2008

- It's about the greed........

[Angry Dragon]

7. He even said about the same thing in 2009

[DeSwiss]

9. After he's gotten hold of Big Pharma's $$$, he'll probably say it again. :-/ n/t

[russspeakeasy]

10. I think that's pretty much guaranteed...

[bbgrunt]

11. seriously. MM will never be legal until big Pharma

can profit from it.

[Oldenuff]

12. And

you are surprised that he has turned his back on his promise?Why would anyone be surprised?



Primary challenge anyone?

Please??

[Voice for Peace]

13. ok, well then, the black market and drug gangs will continue to thrive

[civilisation]

14. The big O is a Corporatist,. straight up.

No plants should be outlawed,. legalize it fully,. let people grow and ingest flowers!

Just say NO to corporate weed!

[walerosco]

15. They are all corporatists

The most frustrating part about it is that we are led to believe that this is what he has to do to get campaign contributions to win a re-election, but he wouldn't need any of that corporate money if he actually worked for the people. Just stop with the unpopular policies and you will automatically gain the support of the voters, a good message doesnt need a billion dollars advertisement to sell
