Once again the issue of marijuana reform has dominated President Obama’s attempt to have the public submit questions for an online question and answer event.
This afternoon President Obama will be taking part in a live chat on Google+ called “Your Interview with the President”. Individuals were encouraged to submit and vote for questions. Not surprisingly, the issues of marijuana legalization and medical marijuana overwhelmed all others.
As long as high ranking government and law enforcement officials are financing the drug trade and taking huge bribes to look the other way, nothing will change. Its all about the money. If YOU were a cop and someone was paying you 50,000 a month in bribes, would you want pot legalized? If you were a Senator and were getting a 100% return for an impossible to trace transaction of $200,000-300,000 (in less than 30 days!!), would YOU be voting to legalize pot? Rich white people make drugs cheaper and more available than they were 40 years ago. And the profits are irresistable. So, we will continue to employ hundreds of thousands of cops, judges, lawyers, prison guards, probation officers, and spend hundreds of billions of dollars in a war we will NEVER win. Smart move. If you're a rich white insider.
