In reply to the discussion: WTF is up with "Obama's War on Weed" ?? It makes no sense at this point in the game. [View all]Dragonfli
(10,622 posts)use of weed should not be storm trooped to death, it is a priority that could, right now, without bloodshed be chosen or ignored at the Federal level by the DOJ OR his boss the POTUS.
He did actually claim he would do just that, make it a non priority in states that legalize and regulate it, he only needs to keep his word, it would not require congress or bloodshed, it can be done tonight peacefully.
As to the rest, I would like federal Medicinal legalization as my wife or I could have been imprisoned for simply trying a medicine some said would work that could not kill or harm you by trying it. We did so only after the very expensive pharmaceutical version failed to work, this really should have been within our rights but is not, not even remotely, in my state.
If it must begin in steps, in a slow progression, state level MEDICAL legalization should be allowed to be a starting point. I also feel personally that if pot were legal for recreational use, many livers and battered spouses would be spared by those that chose such an option over liquor, but that is after all another discussion.
Thank you for your post.
