Mr.President, I would just like to say, every time you laugh at, ignore, or dodge our question, you are losing the trust of the people of this nation. I will not vote for someone who ignores me.

That is like shrinking the demand of a homosexuality, it is something that doesn't need to be changed but realized it is part of the human being and society!

@Zephippz

You said this 8 months ago; looks like you got your wish. Both Ron Paul & Gary Johnson are both running for president. They both have more integrity and fortitude for their beliefs than Obama could ever think was possible. While I don't agree on some of their stances, I wouldn't hesitate to pick either of them over Obama - and it would probably be Ron Paul foremost.

Crap, he was pro-pot durning the campaign, he was asked this question before and u always get this BS answer. It's sad man, he sold his soul.

[mesponer]

dangerous like smoking? isnt he a smoker?!!....

the video asked a loaded question, about legalization and the cost of the war on drugs etc. He answered the question by saying "no not in f avor of legalization, the cost of the war on drugs is worth debating.".. the rest was grey talking...

[Zephippz]

i think its ironic that our best chance for legalization may be to vote for the far right in 2012 (as in borderline libertarian.)

i promise you if ron paul or gary johnson runs for president im voting republican. Those two are true believers of personal freedom.

ill take obama over palin any day though.

This is what all you tools get for voting Democrat rather than independent. Now we are stuck with this tool till next election, watch all you morons vote the next democrat who tricks you with his words of change. You will probably all be too paranoid of "Throwing your vote away" by not voting in the two party system. This world is sad and all you liberal potheads need to smarten up and vote for a real candidate that will make REAL changes. Stop being lulled by silver tongued politicians that LIE

[kendo512]

He contradicted himself in his first sentence. First he says he's not in favour of legalization, then right after says that drug abuse should be dealt with as a health problem. Well that's exactly right, it should be treated as a health problem, we shouldn't even be throwing drug users in jail. Therefore legalization and regulation is the obvious answer to the problem. You can't classify drug addicts as criminals AND sick people.

[Praying4tidalWaves]

His grin at the beginning pisses me off so much. I work 5 days a week and pay my taxes but i can't smoke a joint legally. and when people like me ask him a serious question he's still got the ear to ear grin of a bold faced liar.

[brydawgg]

Loook at all the dislikes hahahahahhahahhahahah!!!!!!!!! you suck obama

[SkullKingXL420]

YEAH SO MUCH FOR CHANGE>>>this dude is a total phony. How dare you laugh or plainly disregard the seriousness of this question???. And the fact is that this LYING, MANIPULATIVE AND CORRUPT government we have has only road the sh*t out this long by spending Billions of hard earned american tax dollars on launching completely biased propaganda stating that drugs like marijuana will "KILL YOU" or quote "MAKE YOU INSANE"

[The3rdPlateau]

@The3rdPlateau ...but even so, this is a very far-reaching issue with implications in all corners of our society and it needs to be addressed, yesterday.
