I wonder which questions were yours. I went through the Additional issues page last night and the economy page also. If you had a pro marijuana question in one of those areas, I bet I voted for you.

"Will you consider decriminalization, and release of non violent marijuana offenders?Will you recognize hemp as a valuable commodity to the American economy?Or will you uphold this prohibition that was founded by misinformation and outright racism?"that's number 1......"Mr. President, will you end this pointless and cost ineffective war on marijuana and recognize the right of adults(who voted for you, by the way, sir)to decide what they can put into their own bodies?" that's number 2.

They sound familiar, I bet you got yes votes from me. There are a lot of marijuana questions on that site. I bet he wishes now that he'd have gave a less lame answer the first time around.

not only have we spoken, but it's going to hard to shut us up now. It's like a snowball kind of thing, we'll just pick more people up as we roll.

Also go to change.org it's a different site where the top 10 questions are going to be presented to Obama on Jan 16 at a press conference.

This morning marijuana questions were at 1, 4 and 11 th place in the voting.

The voting part is hard to find, I went to the NORML website and they have links to the top 3 marijuana questions voting pages.

I clicked on every single question that basically asked for Marijuana to be legalized/decriminalized. Even if it said "LEGALYZE MY HERB ta SMOKE" or whatever...
Now my eyes hurt from clicking and poor writing, time for :leaf:

Don't confuse his statement up, here is his explanation from 2004 on video, there is no mistaking what this means:

Now whether all his people around him will let that happen without putting a bullet in his head or some stupid shit is another story. Don't let him go hunting with Cheney or anyone else.

More information is here to further muddy the water though:

Oh shit, I gave the wrong link, sorry.
That was the link for glassfreak cause I was being a bitch. oops

I meant to give this link:
http://blog.norml.org/2008/12/23/why-obama-really-might-decriminalize-marijuana/

What distrubs me about it is the time frame even if it does happen that's listed here, which may be how it has to go.

Oh yea and you're welcome on the documentary the union... My favorite so far ever. Every person in america needs to be tied to their chair and foced to watch it so we can stop waiting.

And yes, unfortunately, the last thing I have to tell you is that in fact butthash is real. Sick and disturbingly real.... Look on wikipedia etc at first it was thought for sure to be a practical joke but it isn't. See what lengths people will go to in order to get high, you can never keeps kids totally safe they choke eachother to get high, they sniff glues and huff paint and yep, sniff concentrated fermenting shit and piss. Adults are smarter though, they created crack, meth and more...

None of which would be going on if things were not the way they are so I guess it ties into the discussion anyway. Things only get worse.

Famously, Franklin Delano Roosevelt saved the United States banking system during the first seven days of his first term.
And what did he do on the eighth day? “I think this would be a good time for beer,” he said.
Congress had already repealed Prohibition, pending ratification from the states. But the people needed a lift, and legalizing beer would create a million jobs. And lo, booze was back. Two days after the bill passed, Milwaukee brewers hired six hundred people and paid their first $10 million in taxes. Soon the auto industry was tooling up the first $12 million worth of delivery trucks, and brewers were pouring tens of millions into new plants.
“Roosevelt’s move to legalize beer had the effect he intended,” says Adam Cohen, author of Nothing To Fear, a thrilling new history of FDR’s first hundred days. “It was, one journalist observed, ‘like a stick of dynamite into a log jam.’”


Meanwhile, economists have been making the beer argument. In a paper titled “Budgetary Implications of Marijuana Prohibition,” Dr. Jeffrey Miron of Harvard argues that legalized marijuana would generate between $10 and $14 billion in savings and taxes every year — conclusions endorsed by 300 top economists, including Milton “Free Market” Friedman himself.


I just wanted to post this for the hard headed dude who thinks it won't do anything for the economy.

I don't think it will do anything for the economy now with 2 trillion deficits and change. I think we all are going to have to dine and dash our way out of this one :)
