Roughly 50 percent of Americans support-and that number is increasing-legalizing and regulating cannabis because it is one of America’s worst policy failures in history. Cannabis prohibition is perpetuated exactly because President Obama is in control. If citizens were in control, cannabis prohibition, persecution, discrimination and extermination would end immediately.

Reno News & Review, 22 Dec 2011 – Federal prosecutors have been conducting a war against California medical marijuana shops, in defiance of President Obama’s stated policy.
