This infuriates me. Obummer is so full of shit. He knows DAMN well that marijuana legalization alone would bring this country right out of recession. dude wake up and stop waiting for some cocksucking politician to legalize it...WE THE PEOPLE have to start raising hell and DEMAND legalization!! educate the masses about the facts of hemp! tell all your friends and your family the real reason it was banned..spread the word get people angry...fight the lies and propaganda!! GO VIRAL!!!

I don't think the legalization of marijuana is very funny, Mr. Gibb. Not when millions of people's lives are ruined every year by prohibition. You sicken me for your lack of intellect, insight and incessant ability to just stand there and say NOTHING.

All we want to know is WHY Mr. Obama doesn't think it's good for our economy. WE DESERVE A STRAIGHT ANSWER!!

The ignorance displayed by Robert Gibbs and the rest of the administration on this topic is staggering! How can it be that they are isolated from information regarding the thousands of uses of cannabis and hemp. GET WITH THE PROGRAM GUYS.

Do a little research!

@nbutler777 pot is already easier for kids to get than alcohol because it is totally unregulated, also full of pesticides.. solution is full legalization and strict regulation.

I think it should be legalized, but people shouldn't be able to smoke it in public. Not everyone wants to smell that. But besides that, I'm fine with personal choice.
