Barack Obama Doesn’t Support Marijuana ( Cannabis ) Decrim / Legalization
Mike C from http://mikecann.net http://BostonFreedomRally.com video.
Despite what an MPP (Marijuana Policy Project) video seemed to suggest, Barack Obama does not support marijuana decrim.
On the subject of cannabis Barack Obama is weak and most certainly does not support marijuana decrim.
Support a politician in a day and age where 75%+ of voters support medical marijuana and he says, “I won’t risk any political capital for it”. Support that?
That’s not worthy of our support or vote.
We are the majority, we know what is right, we demand it!
This video was in response to a series of videos by MPP that seemed to suggest that Barack Obama was near perfect on marijuana reform.

MPP has responded 7 months and 10,000 views of this video later. We were glad to see that they have at long last presented a more balanced video in response to this video. We were heard. MPP acknowledged our points about their coverage of candidate Barack Obama.
Send a message to Barack Obama that luke warm support and worrying about political capital is unacceptable on the issues of medical marijuana and decrim.

Proof of what I say is true about Obama not supporting marijuana decrim, for the nitwits that can’t be bothered to look and find out for themselves.

Obama Campaign Retracts Statement Supporting Decriminalization
http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=7506
February 8, 2008 – Washington, DC, USA
Washington, DC: Senator Barack Obama’s campaign backed away from statements made last week affirming the Senator’s support for decriminalizing marijuana, after being confronted with inconsistencies in his past and present campaigns on the issue by the Washington Times.
A spokesman for Obama’s campaign blamed confusion over the meaning of decriminalization for the inconsistencies, and said that while Obama does not support decriminalization, “we are sending far too many first-time, nonviolent drug users to prison for very long periods of time, and that we should rethink those laws.”
For more information, please contact Allen St. Pierre, NORML Executive Director, at: allen@norml.org. Full text of the Washington Times article can be found at: http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080201/NATION/43529865/0/FRONTPAGE.
Would Obama supporting marijuana reform help or hurt him in the election? Smart money says that the 80% that support medical marijuana would be a boon for his candidacy see this link for more info on how it would help his campaign! This is 2008 not 1980!

@ic300x The congress and the senate can pass laws even if the president veto’s it. If people didn’t elect crooks to the senate and congress they would have legalized weed even if the banks, that funnel drug money ***big profits***, put puppets up for presidents. Don’t get down.

Over here in the UK Nick Clegg said he supported the decriminalization of weed but now he’s the Deputy Prime Minister he’s saying it should remain an illegal substance. Coult be a coincidence as both wanted votes to gain power but who knows?

barack obama is nothing more than a voiceless president who won’t stand up for shit, he just wants to go through the motions.

as much as i agree that weed should be legalized for the simple fact that it is not dangerous, making a video against obama, because he doesn’t agree with legalizing weed just makes you look like a childish teenager…
there are much more important issues at hand for obama, then just satisfying some stoners and lets be honest stoners only what it legalized so that they can smoke it, not so cancer patience can feel less paint or that authorities can fight worse crimes.
marijuana does NOT …
marijuana does NOT need to be legal. It is a mind altering drug and not good for mental health.
It is sad to say …
It is sad to say that unless the American people get off their fat and pressure their politicians to legalize cannabis then it will never happen. Right now California is closer then it has ever been to legalizing it completely on November 2nd with most of the population polled at 65% approval for legalization if that does not pass then we are fucked
Obama says: not …
Obama says: not only did i inhale but i filled a scuba tank full of pure indica and swam the english channel

when california legalizes Marijuana the population there will skyrocket !
Obama will NEVER …
Obama will NEVER decriminalize at the Federal level because he cannot tax it as he does with tobacco and alcohol. These taxes are needed to fund Government healthcare to pay for the millions of peaple that DIE every year from tobacco and alcohol related health problems that are associated with their use.
