    Obama Gives a Pass on Medical Marijuana

    President Obama takes a significant step towards legalizing marijuana by issuing a new policy on users and dealers of medical marijauna. I don't partake and have never partaken, so I don't have a dog in the race. But I hear alot about the benefits of smoking dope and often wonder what the legalization of the sticky-icky would do to and for America. Now, I'm wondering how Obama supporters on the fence and his critics on the right with react. What is the argument against legalizing marijuana anyways? Given the dangers of regular ole tobacco, it seems like a moral one at best.

    After all, as the famous African philosopher Smokey once said... weed be letting you know where EVIL lurk.
