You really think he's going to do that when, on his very own site, Obama states very clearly that "drug use is immoral"? IMMORAL! He actually deigns to dictate our morality to us. He and Biden, especially, have had a bit of time in their respective positions to make a statement on medical mj, yet haven't. Why is that? If a person who's going to vote for him states that they know x or y about him, they should really be sure they actually know it, factually. Obama's "push" for decriminalization is in people's heads, it's not in his agenda.
When asked if he would stop the federal raids on pot dispensaries in states that have legalized marijuana:
“I would because I think our federal agents have better things to do, like catching criminals and preventing terrorism. The way I want to approach the issue of medical marijuana is to base it on science. And if there is sound science that supports the use of medical marijuana and if it is controlled and prescribed in a way that other medicine is prescribed, then it’s something we should consider.” (James Pitkin, > “Six Minutes With Barack,” Willamette Week, 5/14/08 .)
