Thread: Obama makes more marijuana arrests than Bush did in 8 years. Obama losing MMJ supporters.

For Obama's 2008 campaign, I donated money, I went to rallies to show support, I knocked on doors in VA, and on election night I joined thousands in D.C. who descended on the White House to celebrate and sing “Na, Na, Na, Na, Good bye” to President Bush. I went to sleep that night excited about a new direction for this country that would include me as a recognized medical cannabis patient.

In fewer then fours years of President Obama, we have seen more raids on dispensaries than during the Bush Administration’s entire eight-year tenure. The Obama Administration has taken property from landlords, threatened local officials, forced the release of patient records, used the Internal Revenue Service to bankrupt legitimate dispensaries, told banks to purge medical cannabis clients, evicted patients from low-income housing, and denied a petition to recognize the well-established medical value of cannabis.

Now as President Obama approaches the vote on his reelection, I and other medical cannabis patients are finding it impossible to renew our support.

I thought this would interest most people--who were lead to believe that Obama was the answer to the eventual legalization of marijuana in this country--or a least the reduction of marijuana from a class 1 substance to 2 or 3.

I think he would have had a good shot if he just would have cleaned up his foreign policy positions. His son Rand may do it someday in the future.
