Obama promised to let medical mariuana users/businesses to basically operate within the confines of their state laws, but more and more, he is being increasingly oppressive.
Do you think he is doing it as punishment for the OWS Movement?
OTHER QUESTION: Pot smoking has been increasing since medical marijuana laws have been passed in states. Do you think there is a link between marijuana usage and willingness to speak out against government policies?
haha, you actually believed something obama said.
he had already been continuing supporting the drug for a long time, far before the OWS movement started. he also raised the budget for it recently. the most popularly voted up question on the internet to him at a town hall was about legalizing marijuana and he laughed it off.
Ugh, later, later.
no, no i do not both questions
No, CA is instigating the raids, it's not coming from Washington. Some over zealous Californians who have political power. Probably repugs.
What about the idea there being a link between marijuana usage and willingness to speak out against government policies. We're seeing an upspike in usage like we did in the 60's.
That assumes that 1000% of grievances against government tyranny come from people who smoke pot. I'm here to tell you that I have many grievances against government, and have stated so, and rallied around -- and I've never taken a hit - though I do love the smell of it.
