No change in marijuana laws coming, White House says

167. The main reason is the stoner & youth vote did not come out big time.

And all hell did break loose in some areas after mmj got voted in. Oaksterdam and a lot of the dispensaries were so over the top and in your face, with their huge neon light pot leaf signs and crazy names for what was supposed to be medicine like "Durbin Poison" or "Purple Kush," that local communities starting banning pot shops. You can't walk down Venice Beach without being accosted by someone trying to sell you a MMJ license. The downtown L.A. toy district has transformed into the bong district, with a few odd toy shops still selling plush animals in between the bong shops. It's surreal.

The greedy idiots kinda ruined it for everyone, and turned off the soccer mom vote. Then, the stoners and youth vote just did not show up in the numbers needed for prop 19. MMJ businesses still have a lot of growing up to do. Hopefully they will do that, clean up their act, and we will try again in 2016. The youth vote apparently only bothers to come out in Cali on Presidential election years.

Just two relatively small states have legal pot. We need a Florida or a Texas or NY or CA joining that list before we can expect our President to "evolve" on this issue. Why should he stick his neck out if we won't even bother to go to the polls when the issue is on the ballot?
