Democratic Presidential Hopeful Vows Marijuana Change

DENVER (AP) — Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley met with Colorado marijuana regulators Thursday and vowed immediate change on marijuana policy if he takes office — even as he laid out contradictory plans about how he’d do that.

The former Maryland governor repeated his pledge to reclassify marijuana under federal drug laws if elected. He sat down with state pot regulators, along with marijuana activists and a few representatives from the industry.

Reclassification could open the door to doctors being able to prescribe marijuana, which currently has no accepted medical use under federal law. Such a change would place the drug under control of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, not the states.

why's he even still in the news--panhandling on wall street, trying to cop free weed in denver, and knowing he'll never be president.

10:41 just an excuse because the governor before him instituted the Darrel Putnam Compassionate Use Act for medical marijuana- and Martin O' Malley, panhandling bum that he is, did nothing on the issue for the entire time he was governor but ensure that medical cannabis users were sent to jail

What putz. Did he make any move, while governor, to do this here? Always follow the leader, never a real leader.

Gonna have alot of votes off just that. Other candidates are gonna have to consider the marijuana subject. From the medical stand point to complete legalization.
