Interesting. If he comes out and says it for the general election, I'll believe it.

I doubt he will publicly support decriminalization with an election on the line. Sad, but true.

Obama Campaign Retracts Statement Supporting Decriminalization - NORML

Flip-flop? I don't think so...More typical political rhetoric to win more votes. Besides, a POTUS cannot decriminalize marijuana; Congress does that. Want to decriminalize marijuana? Start voting in Representatives and Senators who favor decriminalization.

I think a POTUS could reign in the justice dept. on raids on medical marijuana suppliers etc. That would be something, plus he could set the mood for de-criminalization and even send a bill to congress. In other words, a marijuana positive POTUS is better than a negative one.

Default A chance or a sure thing?

We're making more progress than ever at getting drug laws changed but I can't tell where Obama stands on the issue. I've hoped in vain in the past that electing politicians with a history of drug use would help. I support a candidate that plainly says he's for major drug policy reform, Bob Barr.

IT'S TIME TO REMOVE ALL THE POLITICIANS THAT PROMOTE PROHIBITION.

HOW MANY MORE LIVES HAVE TO BE NEEDLESSLY DEVASTATED OR LOST?

PROHIBITED DRUGS ARE WAY EASIER FOR KIDS TO GET THAN REGULATED DRUGS!

PROHIBITION NEVER WORKS IT JUST CAUSES CRIME & VIOLENCE.

The USA spends $69 billion a year on the drug war, builds 900 new prison beds and hires 150 more correction officers every two weeks, arrests someone on a drug charge every 17 seconds, jails more people than any nation and has killed over 100,000 citizens in the drug war.
In 1914 when there were NO PROHIBITED DRUGS 1.3% of our population was addicted to drugs, TODAY 1.3% of our population is STILL ADDICTED TO DRUGS BUT THERE’S WAY MORE CRIME AND VIOLENCE BECAUSE OF THE HUGE PROFITS PROHIBITION GENERATES. DRUGS TODAY ARE MORE POTENT, MORE READILY AVAILABLE AND LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THEY WERE IN THE EARLY 70’S WHEN RICHARD NIXON STARTED THE WAR ON DRUGS.

Everyone needs to know about “Jury Nullification”. You can learn more here: Fully Informed Jury Association If you are called for jury duty and you don’t agree with the law the person is charged with, you have the right to vote NOT GUILTY, NO MATTER WHAT EVIDENCE IS PRODUCED. Jurors implementing this right in ALL NON-VIOLENT drug cases will shut down the ridiculous laws of prohibition. One juror in each case is all it takes.
There’s only been one drug success story in history, tobacco, BY FAR THE MOST DEADLY and one of the MOST ADDICTIVE drugs. Almost half the users quit because of REGULATION, ACCURATE INFORMATION AND MEDICAL TREATMENT. No one went to jail and no one got killed.

DEMAND your Constitutional rights. The right; to freedom of religion, free speech, a free press, to keep and bear arms, to be secure in your person, house, papers and effects against unreasonable search and seizure, to life, liberty and property, to be protected from having your property taken by the government without due process of law and without just compensation, to confront the witnesses against you, to be protected from excessive bail, excessive fines, cruel and unusual punishment, to vote and many others have been denied to millions of Americans in the name of the drug war.

I don't have a problem with the man because he's a smoker. In fact, I respect him a little more because of it.

EDIT: The photo above has been discredited.
I found the following photo here: MySpace.com Blogs - John MySpace Blog

Photoshopped?
