Obama Administration ‘Firmly Opposed’ to Pot Legalization

And I’m ‘Firmly Opposed’ to the Obama Administration.  Via the Huffington Post:

Yet the entire premise for maintaining the government’s policy — that keeping marijuana criminally prohibited “reduces [its] availability and lessens willingness to use [it]” — is demonstrably false. Under present prohibition, more than 1/3 of 8th graders, more than 2/3rds of 10th graders, and some 85 percent of 12th graders say that marijuana is “easy to get.” Even according to the stridently prohibitionist group CASA (National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University), more teens say that they can get their hands on pot than booze, and one-quarter say that they can buy marijuana within the hour. That means, President Obama and Gil Kerlikowske, that 25 percent of teens can obtain marijuana as easily — and as quickly — as a Domino’s pizza!This is your “proven” method for “reducing availability?” Don’t make us laugh.

For the entire puke fest that is the “new” drug control policy, click here.
