New Hampshire Poll Shows Majority Supports Legalizing Marijuana

[RainDog]

24. Not at all

I didn't say he was powerless. I've even posted here about the way that the DoJ could reschedule cannabis. It's here - http://www.democraticunderground.com/117069

I think the reality is that the President would prefer if marijuana were decriminalized. I don't think he supports legalization

Removing cannabis from the drug schedule would go toward decriminalizing - so there's no doubt it's a good idea even if you're for halfway measures. Most moderates are like that, in their thinking.

But, honestly, I don't think this is much on the radar right now with the gun issue what it is.

I entirely agree there are better ways for the DoJ to spend their resources - but, again, this is politics - with people's lives, but politics, and I have no doubt that the DEA, etc. is having its say and lobbying for its pov. Same with the Drug Czar, as we've seen lately. Same with this think with Patrick Kennedy, imo.

As I noted before, Democrats aren't the best party for the legalization movement, except when the other party is the Republicans.
