President Barack Obama's comments on marijuana, published in the New Yorker magazine over the weekend, could help legalization efforts in several states, including Oregon, the Statesman Journal reports.

Why now? Christian Science Monitor Obama speaks out on marijuana "As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life," Obama told the magazine. "I don'��t think it is more dangerous than alcohol."�� The president's comments "will certainly have an impact on voters in the state of Oregon,"�� Rep. Vicki Berger told the Statesman. According to the newspaper, Democratic lawmakers plan to introduce a legislative referral next month that would ask voters whether they want recreational marijuana legalized. Similar efforts are under way in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. The president's views "will influence people throughout the country," Donald Moorse, a Portland, Ore., medical marijuana dispensary owner, told the paper. "��I think that'��s why he made the comments." The president acknowledged marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol "��in terms of its impact on the individual consumer." View gallery Obama smiles as he and his daughter Sasha fill burritos U.S. President Barack Obama (C) smiles as he and his daughter Sasha Asked about the legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington, Obama said, “it’s important for it to go forward because it’s important for society not to have a situation in which a large portion of people have at one time or another broken the law and only a select few get punished.” In Colorado, where a law legalizing recreational marijuana went into effect on Jan. 1, Obama's pro-pot comments were front-page news, even appearing above the Denver Broncos' win over the New England Patriots on Monday's cover of the Denver Post. Last week, the New Hampshire House of Representatives became the first state legislature to vote in favor of a bill to legalize the sale and possession of recreational marijuana, which, if signed into law, could entice Vermont to do the same. According to VermontWatchdog.org, a bill to legalize the sale and possession of pot will be on this session's agenda in Montpelier. .The support was welcomed by pot advocates "��The first step to improving our nation’s marijuana policy is admitting that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol," Mason Tvert, director of the Marijuana Policy Project, said in a statement. "Now that he has recognized that laws jailing adults for using marijuana are inappropriate, it is time to amend for those errors and adopt a more fact-based marijuana policy. lol, "The support was welcomed by pot advocates"

http://tinyurl.com/3ys4489 United States Patent 6,630,507 Hampson , et al. October 7, 2003 **Please see images for: ( Certificate of Correction ) ** Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants Abstract Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH.sub.3, and COCH.sub.3. ##STR1## Inventors: Hampson; Aidan J.

I suppose, if one were to eat or drink it there are no toxins.
Smoking it, unlike professor oSmokecrack claims, contains..... Well, read the Mayo Clinic report. [bold]Marijuana smoke contains 50 percent to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke and has the potential to cause cancer of the lungs and respiratory tract. Marijuana smoke is commonly inhaled deeper and held longer than is tobacco smoke, increasing the lungs' exposure to carcinogens." Aug. 25, 2006 - Mayo Clinic [/bold] |

Ain't it kinda like he will only enforce laws he deems worthy of enforcing?
Example. It's illegal for illegal to be here and illegal for corporations to hire them. He's suspended investigation of factories who are known to hire them, sues states that deport them, suspended everify. Is his intent with this gesture another of those deflection tactics to draw attention away from that Trade deal his puppet masters want passed? |
