Welcome to the forum ashera, please read our rules.Ashera said:Are you for it or not? I'm not and I think it's going to bring more harm than good to the general population because there are people could get health issues smoking pot. What do you think?
And apparently, Obama's for it: do you agree with him or not?
The Obama administration has taken a more lenient stance on marijuana, with President Obama stating that he believes it is no more dangerous than alcohol and that enforcing federal marijuana laws in states that have legalized it would not be a priority.
The Obama administration has allowed states to legalize marijuana for medical or recreational use without federal interference, as long as they have a regulatory system in place to control production and distribution.
The potential benefits of legalizing marijuana, according to the Obama administration, include increased tax revenue, reduced criminal justice costs, and reducing the disproportionate impact of marijuana laws on communities of color.
The potential drawbacks of legalizing marijuana, according to the Obama administration, include potential negative impacts on public health, such as increased use among youth, and concerns over impaired driving.
The possession and use of marijuana remains illegal under federal law, but the Obama administration has chosen not to enforce these laws in states that have legalized marijuana. However, federal authorities may still enforce federal marijuana laws in these states under certain circumstances.
