4. So his toehold is that he's not going after mmj users, but he's so f'ing wrong...

If he makes a safe, legal acquisition of mmj impossible, nearly impossible, or otherwise too difficult to acquire, then they will be forced back onto the black market, which will further and continue the war on drugs and the entire Latin American / USA drug war insanity.

So this means to me that Obama wants us to continue to smoke pot, just don't do it legally because we have War on Drugs to support, and 100,000s of more people are yet to be massacred, and 100,000s more are yet to be imprisoned, not for smoking mmj, but for buying from the black market.


Yeah, Obama. What turd sandwich you're trying to feed us. Why not just come out explain to us who's paying you to keep the prison, penal, and military complexes so generously considered.
