If your statement implied this, not only do I stand corrected, but totally shocked. I have never heard of a single case where a first timer received jail for user amounts (of anything - let alone pot).

| I don't think he's "just black." He's pretty progressive compared to the last eight years of hell we've been through. If he got picked for leader, he would have a lot of power at his disposal, because the American people are ready to throw the reins at *anybody* who can do a better job than the people in charge now. That gives him the option to do big things, if he chooses.

| At least he's talking about it. Most "other politicians" are running away from drugs as if they were... well... drugs.

| He isn't even talking about it and is pretty much avoiding it like the plague now, thanks to his preacher and his friends from the Weather Underground. |

| Yeah, Obama's a bullshitter. All politicians are. You just have to grab your ankles and accept it, like many other things in life. He's full of shit in some capacity on his beliefs of marijuana legislation reform. He clearly flip-flopped on the issue. Whatever, there are things more important than drug laws right now, and as I've said before, we need to win over more states before even considering something federal. If he promises an end to medical marijuana laws and all of the reform groups try to put pressure on him to follow through, I'm satisfied in that capacity. However, with our vote we can still damage control. Hillary strikes me as more of a bullshitter than Obama. She's compromised her integrity by getting bought out to halt her social health care plan a decade or however long back, I believe to use towards helping her establish her senatorship (I don't care whether that's an actual word). Not to mention the whole Bosnia mess. Christ, if you have cameras on you at all times, you cannot make a slip-up like that. I just feel like she's made a lot of bad decisions, done a poor job of covering up the fact that she's full of shit. Also, wasn't she saying that Obama couldn't win, up until when she was cornered in the PA debate? Good stuff, I love seeing how consistent each candidate can be. It's as though her plan to cite her good experience as a politician as an advantage over Obama has simply backfired, because she's pretty much as full of shit as Bill Clinton. Which, given some of his recent quotes to the media, I'd have to say is a pretty big waistline of shit backed up. Fine by me, I actually like Obama's health care plan better - it will cost less, for one, which is vital in this urgent time in our economy, and it respects the civil liberties of adults. Seems like a winning combination to me. I don't agree with his gun control stances so much, but you can't win'em all. I do like that he's very liberal, though, and would welcome a hearty change in policy from the shitstorm that's been lasting close to 7 years and 3 months or so by now.
