I am not seeing how this isn't a step in the right direction. A small step, sure, but still a step.

This is a step in the wrong direction as far as the states are concerned. Rather than stating that the federal government never had jurisdiction to intercede in states which had already put marijuana laws in place pursuant with the 10th Amendment; he admitted no guilt. He never said that the federal government had no business doing it because it was illegal. By not stating that he was saying that the federal government has the ability to wipe their ass with the Constitution but in this case he was giving the states the permission to make their own decision.

Statist bastards.

It's the right direction because they were never going to admit it anyway and now patients are not going to jail. That's me. Hi. I'm not going to jail. Thanks.

The move itself is good. It's the only really good move he's made. I mean, other than his public stance on the Iranian Revolution and perhaps his public stance on stopping all new Israeli settlements in Palestine.. but it could easily be argued that both of those were smokescreens for CIA covert activity.

I mean, ya, if they end up sending all marijuana users to FEMA camps cause they get a big list of names and addresses from the dispensaries, then some day I might have to admit it was a bad move.. I think that has only a small probability of happening.

Just making sure. Obviously Obama isn't going to admit that he made a mistake, instead, he is taking this way out, which is good on the whole. Hopefully some formerly intimidated state legislatures will enact medical marijuana laws.

Why in God's name would we still be settling for small steps, at THIS stage of the game? Oh THANK YOU, Massah.

The capricious criminalization of marijuana -- which no intelligent person can argue has greater toxicity or consequences than alcohol -- is hypocritical, unjust and mercenary.

It should be de-criminalized with all the haste with which our august Senate convened to try gallantly to spare the life of vegetable Terri Schaivo.

The savings and revenue are NEON LOW HANGING FRUIT WHEN THE COUNTRY TEETERS ON DEPRESSION.

We are IMBECILES not to de-criminalize marijuana. And the Resistance are PANSIES not to press our advantage.
