It’s “not as bad as alcohol”. That’s what the President told the New Yorker in an interview that came out over the weekend. In the same article, he said lighting up is not something he encourages. But he also says he’s not going to force the feds to prosecute potheads in Colorado or Washington state.
Normally, it would take an act of Congress to pass a law legalizing weed, but President Obama has a habit of doing things anyway. And with 167 executive orders under his belt, on everything from health reform to texting and driving, you’d think that a former stoner looking for positive political traction would go ahead and git ‘er done!
So is it just a matter of time? How long do you think it will take before the President legalizes weed?
