Reply #44: Because the farces of evil are still firmly in control of our national drug policy.

[Fly by night]

There are three things that Obama can do to reflect a commitment to harm reduction when it comes to that policy:

1) Demand that the DEA accept the recommendations of its own administrative law judges to reclassify cannabis out of Schedule 1 to a more appropriate schedule. (I would recommend Schedule 4.)

2) If Michelle Leonhart (the Smirking Chimp's holdover DEA director) refuses to do so, fire her immediately and throw her fat ass into the gutter of history where she belongs.

3) Issue a blanket pardon to everyone (EVERYONE) who has ever been convicted of a medical marijuana-related offense. Forget the paperwork, forget the unwritten rules, forget all of that.

Pardon us right now.
