Excellent quotes from President Obama regarding marijuana. [View all]

"I don’t think it is more dangerous than alcohol."

"We should not be locking up kids or individual users for long stretches of jail time when some of the folks who are writing those laws have probably done the same thing."

“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."

These are most sensible comments I have ever heard from a U.S. President on this subject.

Thank you, President Obama, for having courage and common sense!
