Obama Ignores Pot-Related Questions In Monday's Online Chat

you will be voted down by way more than teens for the lack of compassion you offer not for disagreeing

compassion for what?

Gary Johnson, among others, is right that we should legalize marijuana. Several reasons include the help it provides cancer patients, the fact that it reduces chances of glaucoma, that it is the largest cash crop in many states that goes unregulated and untaxed, that it is no more harmful that alcohol.

Legalizing would free up a huge amount of financial resources to fight real crime, allow for more funds to go to other real problems like infrastructure, education and real health care.

Nothing. I don't put that crap in my body.

Huh, all I heard was, "I don't care about people that are in jail because my motto is out of sight out of mind".

Tent cities are what happens when too many people move to an area with an ideal climate and laws, but not enough housing. They are a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself.

tent cities are everywhere because people don't have the means to pay their debts not because of a lack of housing...I have empty homes rotting up and down my street, mine soon to be added, and there are homeless families living in the woods.

I guess the housing crisis didn't have anything to do with it at all. I hope that isn't what you are saying.

And that is one of the reasons he doesn't "own" my vote.

no honest person will ever live in the white house

That may be true. I don't doubt that's entirely what the future looks like
for all Americans. As the average American depends on TV to get real
news ( an oxymoron ) they're already too far beyond the 8 ball. By the
time they wake up and realize the USA is in deep shit, and is being run
by Organized Crime as a shodow govt. with a legitimate appearing facade
as window dressing, it'll be too late for them to resolve to do anything to
restore the rule of law to the White House, a place I've come to nickname
" the House of Dark Shadows " after the early 1970s TV series by that name.

Just Now???

lol. It's been building but they didn't even ask any drug questions. You know someone in the administration talked to someone at google and they agreed not to ask any of the questions. Obama doesn't want to piss off his base or give the crazy right something to scream about. He just forgot that the crazies are always going to scream about something and ignoring the most popular issue is going to piss off his base

I am thinking he did in fact Piss Off his base when he told them to 'Stop Whining' =(

i know it. We really need a leftist party. Not a center party and a extremely right party. It's sad that you're considered a liberal if you believe the world is older than 5,000yrs. Puppets! they are all puppets... But poor Romney, you can see the slit in his back where you put the quarter

Better late than never..........

I am Sick and Tired of Both Parties!!! =(

I think the most popular issue is to make sure more children eat a good meal before going to school in the morning. Getting high shouldn't be that high on our priority list right now.

it's just emblematic of how nothing gets done and no one listens to anyone

Too true.

not about getting high, but even if it was why would anyone care? No high individual cares to hurt another...maybe all the people of the world should get high first thing in the day. We know for certain there would at least be less cancer and less hate with an increase in smiling faces and random, striking thoughts.

this is about freedom of choice and the imposition of one perspective on all of us for no good reason but the perpetuation of profit and control for a few. Fundamentally this issue can be applied across the board. It just happens right now the issue on this post that brings the problems to light is the control of an unharmful, completely natural substance that should be available for all to use as they decide..

Maybe, but you must admit that smoking pot should be the least of the country's worries while so many people are scratching by to pay their mortgages and eat.
