(31,706 posts)I'm not directing my remarks at you but toward the number of posts that have proliferated here in recent weeks on MMJ and those who have said that this is a major issue with them. One went as far as to advocate for a third party candidate. It's nuance that allows for one to view things in a broader perspective and hopefully that's the majority consensus around here.
On the overall scheme of things I think the economy and healthcare will be far bigger issues President Obama will have to deal with and the "war" on drugs will fall into the "law and order" game that both parties play. While progress has been made on the state level (where it should), the federal government is far behind and where the push on Congresscritters makes a lot more sense than throwing this issue (along with so many others) at the administration. Work for electing those who will have the ultimate vote on decriminalization and legalization. As we've seen this administration can want a lot of things but with an obstructionist legislative little can change.
Here's wishing you lots of sunshine...life is a good place, it's just the politics that get in the way.
Cheers...
