Barack Obama Doesn't Support Marijuana ( Cannabis ) Decrim / Legalization



Uploaded by: MikeCANN
Video Description:
Despite what the MPP (Marijuana Policy Project) video might suggest, Barack Obama does not support marijuana decrim.
On the subject of cannabis Barack Obama is weak and most certainly does not support marijuana decrim.
Support a politician in a day and age where 75%+ of voters support medical marijuana and he says, "I won't risk any political capital for it". Support that?
That's not worthy of our support or vote.
We are the majority, we know what is right, we demand it!
This video was in response to a series of videos by MPP that seemed to suggest that Barack Obama was near perfect on marijuana reform.

MPP has responded 7 months and 10,000 views of this video later. We were glad to see that they have at long last presented a more balanced video in response to this video. We were heard. MPP acknowledged our points about their coverage of candidate Barack Obama.
Send a message to Barack Obama that luke warm support and worrying about political capital is unacceptable on the issues of medical marijuana and decrim.

Proof of what I say is true about Obama not supporting marijuana decrim, for the nitwits that can't be bothered to look and find out for themselves.

Obama Campaign Retracts Statement Supporting Decriminalization
http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=7506
February 8, 2008 - Washington, DC, USA
Washington, DC: Senator Barack Obama's campaign backed away from statements made last week affirming the Senator's support for decriminalizing marijuana, after being confronted with inconsistencies in his past and present campaigns on the issue by the Washington Times.
A spokesman for Obama's campaign blamed confusion over the meaning of decriminalization for the inconsistencies, and said that while Obama does not support decriminalization, "we are sending far too many first-time, nonviolent drug users to prison for very long periods of time, and that we should rethink those laws."
For more information, please contact Allen St. Pierre, NORML Executive Director, at: allen@norml.org. Full text of the Washington Times article can be found at: http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080201/NATION/43529865/0/FRONTPAGE.
Would Obama supporting marijuana reform help or hurt him in the election? Smart money says that the 80% that support medical marijuana would be a boon for his candidacy see this link for more info on how it would help his campaign! This is 2008 not 1980!

Prospect Hill, helped save the Boston Freedom Rally and bring back decrim to Massachusetts. Today, cannabis is redecriminalized in MA. First day. Prospect Hill the band that did this song, had much to do with that. They've done more for cannabis reform than Obama. This isn't my favorite song by them but it fit the video. Check them out on myspace, Dance and Breakdown rule! My most popular videos feature their music and they have lots of fans and some very cute females to boot. Nice guys too.

Your comment is more painful and makes no sense. I'm not really into the music on your page but if you tell me that they support cannabis reform, I'm not badmouthing them. Whether you support Obama or not, it's good to see that you have a video asking him to stand by his past words about marijuana decrim and medical marijuana. I wouldn't hold my breath but for the people who can no longer be silenced. We just might force him to do the right thing!

Haha. I know and I don't blame you, it's not my favorite recording, it's good live. But even if you don't like the style you might like those other two songs. Maybe not but I love these guys. I'm a music booker/promoter and pretty much I love bands but you have to lose that fan thing when you book for success. But I can't help but be their fan boy. PROSPECT HILL rules. That's all I'm saying. See them live and go to their myspace before you completely write them off. "Break Down" and "Dance"

Hash? I barely ever see that but it's a topic of conversation because starting today, 1 ounce is only a $100 fine and no arrest, record, because of a vote in my state and the politicians are crowing about it. We got some of the bad bud too. Two of my friends bought it, I blogged about it a few times on myspace. One in NH and one in MA. Thankfully I get it from the source! Haha.

the comparison with morphine is false. he actually stated: "if its an issue of doctors prescribing medical marijuana as a treatment for glaucoma or as a cancer treatment, i think that should be appropriate because there really is no difference between that than a doctor prescribing morphine or anything else."
--he's saying if a condition calls for a certain medical treatment... then prescribe it. you should listen to what he says and not what the media says he says.

I must credit the authors of this video for disclosing what most of us serious activists have known for quite a long while. The major "drug reform" organizations are becoming more of an impediment to Re-Legalization than a catalyst. All of these groups are primarily supported by Soros, Lewis and Sperling and the only solutions they support are incremental approaches such as Medical Marijuana and "Tax and Regulate" models. Only the MERP Model will solve the real problem. Goto newagecitizen

I do listen and concede the point but I put it back right on you. Right after he said that, what did he say? That he would risk no political capital for medical marijuana, that has 80%+ vote support. I've long ago conceded I shouldn't have used that quote but rarely do I find those that point it up admit, that Obama has said repeatedly that he doesn't currently support decrim and is not strong on cannabis reform. He's done the least he possibly can...
Thanks for comment, ... ( 4 days ago by MikeCANN)
Thanks for comment, I'm going to check out MERP model. I've worked with NORML and find them to be awesome. I work w/ a local NORML chapter and one thing is that unlike many of the top down groups out there, NORML doesn't tell the locals what to do. They only support. I like that. MPP did end up doing the right thing, responded to my video. They won decrim in MA which is now in effect, first sunday of decrim. Legalization, I support but it doesn't have the votes, yet but we are getting close.

What's BS? Asking questions? Providing quotes & sources? Being right? Election's over, Obama won. What's he done? Nothing but continue to have his staff put out answers that say he doesn't support us on his website change dot o*r*g. Drug Czar names being pushed are all prohibitionists filled with reefer madness. No change on marijuana reform. If he supports medical with a press conference or does really anything for us, I'll be the first to applaud him. I'm asking BO to do it. Why is that BS?

It wasn't conspiracy lunacy but me calling MPP out to do the right thing. Guess what? They responded and did do what? The right thing. Why? Because of this video. The next video where they set the record straight was a direct response to this video. That's all I wanted. Retard? You. I've done much for marijuana reform than 99.99%. George and I just decriminalized it in MA. I pushed them to do that too. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. You want change, copy my tactics. Rules for radicals, read it.

Sadly, Obama isn't as progressive as his rhetoric suggests. It always seems to happen that people speak more left and act more right after their campaigns. The whole legalization movement here in Canada is a shamre too. A legalization bill was destroyed by our current Conservative government just last year... and a prominent figure and icon to the Marijuana legalization movement, Marc Emery was recently deported to you fellows for selling pot seeds.
