UN Drug Watchdog warns against marijuana legalization/Mexico says Re-Legalize

6. This is an historic moment

I don't think there's much doubt that Obama views marijuana as a relatively harmless substance - but, as Prez, he has various groups that press for their pov and, politically, prior to this moment, there hasn't been a reason for a mainstream politician to get out in front of this issue unless they represent a specific group - like Frank or Paul.

But, since the Nov. 2012 ballot - the world has changed.

People don't seem to realize, in a way, what a HUGE political game changer it was to have two states vote for legalization.

So, I'm hoping Obama will rise to this occasion and become part of history in the same way that FDR aligned with the northern Democrats to announce the end of alcohol prohibition.
