This is one of the parts I liked :)
"it's important for it to go forward because it's important for society not to have a situation in which a large portion of people have at one time or another broken the law and only a select few get punished."
You can't have 30 to 40% of your citizens breaking the law! :p
He also said Poor kids get punished and middle class kids dont..
Same goes for Adults right?
Set them all free!
make room for bad people

Show me one MMJ operation that was DEMONSTRABLY following the law and the guidelines put forth by the justice department, which was then raided by the DEA. Show me ONE such case wherein charges were leveled of any kind.
You make a claim, but do not provide the evidence.
Here are the facts:
DOJ said: follow these guidelines (including state law), if you don't its your ass.
State said: follow this law.
So a bunch of people grow pot. Some follow the law, some do not.
The DEA raids some folks, and you say: See?!?! The government are a bunch of LIARS!
The problem with that is that the government didn't ever promise carte blanche to grow as much pot under whatever conditions any citizen might wish to dream up. The state government didn't promise that and the federal government didn't either. They set forth a very specific set of guidelines which had to be followed to the letter and semicolon. They made that ABUNDANDTLY clear.
To believe everyone who grew followed those guidelines is perhaps the most foolish thing I've ever heard, and your outrage here PRESUPPOSES that every single one of these folks were following the law and that the man just chose to keep them specifically down. Does that make sense? Or does it actually sound incredibly paranoid?
Be reasonable, or at least provide an ounce of evidence to back up the claims you make.
I know, personally, a guy who moved product from Colorado to Illinois--facilitating, with their knowledge, a grower from that state. I doubt quite highly he's the only dude making some bank on the high conversion rate.
Tell me again how everyone is following the law. Lol.
Ha..that cracked me up DF.
:D
It's like Indiana Jones and a bag of sand..legalization..a tough trick to pull off just right.
I know! Even when he gets it right, he gets it wrong. The problem isn't an unequal distribution of injustice. You don't solve injustice, by distributing it more equally.
If only more white people went to jail it would all be ok.:finger:
stfu squigg
:rolleyes:
The best part, whether he is lying or not, is that he mentioned all of these things publicly and they are getting national media attention. This is in a time when 2 states LEGALIZED. The country is moving in a different direction.
When something gets national MEDIA attention, people (the majority of people) who love their television and radio, will hear it. And we all know that many people think "if the president says it it MUST be true!".
So regardless it is a step forward when it comes to the reclassification of MJ. Down the road the public opinion will win. Corporations will still find a way to take advantage of the situation.
@fractal it's all part of the plan.. :writing:
Plenty of Drug War victims..endless list of lives and families ruined. Time to try a different approach as the old one hasn't worked and only lends to filling up over-loaded prisons. Particularly when it comes to "something less harmful than alcohol"!
sad.
You guys are drinking the Kool-Aid. This is what his advisers are telling him to say and do. HE NEEDS public support right now because a LOT of people want to see him impeached. He PROMISED to keep the DEA out of MMJ...yet there have been more raids on MMJ than when Bush was in office. He is a puppet. A politician, and as corrupt as they come.
I had hope for Obama...I really did.....but when he hired Monsanto's chief lobbyist to head the FDA....I knew he was a BOUGHT AND PAID FOR politician just like the rest of them.
This is akin to the saying "Let them eat cake"!
I'm calling bullshit.
