I wonder how much he smokes a day.

I wonder how much h gets paid under the table by Big Pharm to ignore legalization calls.

quote:

Mr. Obama said. “If marijuana is fully legalized and at some point folks say, ‘Well, we can come up with a negotiated dose of cocaine that we can show is not any more harmful than vodka.’ Are we open to that? If somebody says, ‘We’ve got a finely calibrated dose of meth, it isn’t going to kill you or rot your teeth.’ Are we OK with that?”

The black president trying to legalize weed would go over just great.

Yet he wouldn't let his son, if he had one, play football, because football players are like smokers

So much entrenched money in keeping it illegal. Apparently it's worth his while to lie about his true feelings.

alcohol is probably a lot more dangerous than pot on the balance

Apples and Oranges. Coke and Meth can kill you. There is no amount of weed that will shut your body down.

To me, if there's a theoretical dose of meth out there that doesn't cause harm, then why shouldn't it be legal? Where would the government interest be if safety factor is removed?

He also said "As has been well-documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol,"

If you take all of his quotes and don't cherry pick the one in the OP he actually appears to promotes legal Marijuana.

I thought his quotes from the articles I read were very encouraging towards legalization up to him saying the feds are planning on staying out of it and letting CO etc move forward.

Oh and full disclosure I am not a Democrat or an Obama supporter. So I am not bringing this up for political purposes. Simply for logical marijuana law purposes.
