The irony of it is that their Unconstitutional prohibition is part of the very failed drug policy that will continue to keep all illicit drugs readily available to their children, one of its many harmful counter productive realities.

That's great! However, I feel, American citizen and all, several degrees in HIGHer education, like a BA, and more, that there should be zero arrests for cannabis, aka marijuana. All of this should have been recognized and settled in the 1970's... it was known then that cannabis wasn't a criminal issue - Pres. Carter recognized that and made it clear - Americans should have the right to smoke or ingest cannabis, just as they should have the right to make their own home wine, and beer... and we do. But still, cannabis is a schedule 1 drug... while the true schedule ONE drug should be tobacco, with alcohol close behind. You want society to respect "authority"? Don't underestimate the intelligence of the American public... and please get real about what society really needs to prosper... this question I pose may seem cute, but honestly, to you feel, if you're a cat person, that cats need to be criminalized if they use catnip? Surprisingly, I know people who do. Our own bodies produce cannabinoid substances naturally... we're all walking manufacturers of the very drug that is illegal. Use of any drug should come down to true science and biology... both alcohol and tobacco should be illegal... they're not. Given that, any other recreational drug humans chose to use is a prejudice, unless backed by science. Several recreational drugs possess obvious serious risks... two legal ones, and a few illegal ones - cannabis is not one of these. “Arrests are down…” That’s great!

Obama chose to drop the word "war"... I support Pres. Obama in fact, but not if it means a continuation of the infringement on adults using cannabis as an alternative to alcohol, or simply because one finds cannabis personally friendly. It's Congress, the DEA, and other special interest powers that make sure cannabis Americans live without the protections of the US Constitution - <b>a cannabis user's right to pursuit of happiness, shall be infringed!</b> The only “change” in the “War on Drugs” is that Pres.
