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.

Obama Campaign Retracts Statement Supporting Decriminalization

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!
