Romeny is a supply side economist not a prohabitionist,He uses prohabition as a tool to keep profits high and money flowing to the MJ.industry(Growers,dealers,cartels,Dea,cops,private prisons).If the economics were different you can bet his approach would be different.

The US effectively controls the UN's Drug Policies.

Treaties wouldn't be a "practical issue", don't believe that bullshit excuse.

If he wanted to, he could.

Obamas Executive Order No: 999,999,999,997 ( <-<< Like what I did there? ;) )

The DEA will no longer consider Cannabis Sativa to be an illicit drug and will not investigate or in any way attempt to convict people for possession, cultivation, sale, etc of Cannabis Sativa.

Think now would be a good time to do it before a tight election?

The Holder memo offers zero legal protection.
And if O made such a radical announcement before the election, I would imagine it would hurt and not help. The majority of Americans still (or already) buy into the idea that pot is bad ... I don't see a chance of that scenario happening. cn

&#8220;I think marijuana should not be legal in this country,&#8221; the former Massachusetts governor opined. &#8220;I believe it&#8217;s a gateway drug to other drug violations. The use of illegal drugs in this country is leading to terrible consequences in places like Mexico and actually in our own country. I oppose legalization of marijuana. I oppose legalization of other kinds of drugs.&#8221;

What motivation is there politically to achieve that?

/thread, +rep.

three states have pretty full scale legalization on the ballot this year: colorado, washington, and sweet home oregon.

i expect at least one to pass (most likely ours). i then expect federal intervention and blockage, no matter who assumes office (but one more forcefully than the other).

i have said it over and over and over. we are an easy political target. the nature of cannabis will almost always lend us to that image/stereotype.

eventually, even if it is not this year, one of these legalization initiatives will pass. and it will force the hand.

MMJ was and continues to be a great foot in the door. but it is not the end all, be all.

the end all, be all will be complete cannabis re-legalization. taxation and regulation will follow, but only if we keep forcing the hand.

re-legalization is as back-burner an issue as it gets.

as more and more states pile on, the pressure will grow. i am proud to say the solid blue, independent yet progressive state of oregon is helping to lead the charge.

Taxing a plant or the right to ingest a substance isn't the equivalent of "completely legal". It is an intervention into another persons life and falls short of freedom. A handjob if you will.

There is more to elections and government than the issue of cannabis Rob. So long as you hold a single issue above all others you will never get the government you are looking for.

I agree. Cannabis prohibition is only a symptom of coercive government. They are douche bags in many other ways. The government I am looking for is the one that leaves peaceful people alone. Which kind do you endorse?

I think Canndo is looking for the kind of government that will force other people to act the way Canndo wishes they would.
