No Obama fan but I agree if he enforces laws on federal books. Want rid of them; then get it passed.

But he chooses which laws to enforce. For example, he has chosen to not enforce immigration laws.

Selling drugs is against the law.

This includes: alcohol, weed, benzos, steroids etc

Just because something is legal to have doesn't mean you can sell it for profit, unless you have jumped through the right hoops.

Hmmmm... I seem to recall that WA legalized pot. Did you not get the message?

Furthermore, as they did with the prohibition of alcohol, where is the Constitutional Amendment for prohibition of cannabis? Finally, if people are using it for medicinal purposes why would you deny people the opportunity to use something that helps aliviate what may be ailing them, be it chronic pain, anxiety, or a serious disease like cancer or AIDS, and force them to take toxic Big Pharma drugs with horrible side effects?

Cigarettes are legal. Bootlegging them or avoiding the taxes on them is not.

Alcohol is legal. Running your own still is not.

Money is legal. You still aren't allowed to run off a couple sheets on your printer.

Unfortunately for the pot-heads, pot legalization probably does not make the Top-10 on the issues list when people decide who to vote for. Very few would base their vote on that issue.

I'll tell you this, any Republican president is going to enforce the federal drug laws more strictly than Obama is doing now. The Obama years favor the pro-pot crowd, but that will change, and I don't care that the candidates from either party will tell you on the campaign trail in order to get your votes.

Where is the Constitutional Amendment for prohibition of cannabis? In short a Republican candidate would be going against the Constitution by enforcing the unconstitutional war on weed. Yep, so much for the party of "smaller government!" They're as full of s*** , and no better than the Democrat Party ! At least the Democrats are honest about there intentions for expanding the Federal government when it comes to controlling all aspects of our lives. Republicans only want smaller government, unless of course when it comes to what people do in their bedrooms, or what people choose to put into their bodies.

Individual laws are not listed in the Constitution. The Constitution states the government will insure domestic Tranquility. Yes, laws need to be enforced.
