President Obama Wants To Legalize Marijuana
The legalization of marijuana, is getting closer every day and President Obama now seems to be on track with it too. It was just this past Friday, when Attorney General Eric Holder, stated that the Obama administration is ready to sit with Congress and try to come to an agreement, to remove marijuana from the list of most dangerous drugs.
Holder's exact words, during a House Appropriations Committee hearing were, "We'd be more than glad to work with Congress if there is a desire to look at and reexamine how the drug is scheduled, as I said there is a great degree of expertise that exists in Congress. It is something that ultimately Congress would have to change, and I think that our administration would be glad to work with Congress if such a proposal were made."
While the Attorney General, does have the power to remove a drug from the most dangerous drugs list and Holder could simply make this happen, he seems like he wants to work with Congress to make marijuana legal and we can only hope that members of Congress have similar points of view. Holder's declaration is certainly a huge thing and it can make tons of difference towards legalizing cannabis these next couple of months.
There are many Congressman, who have already stated their approval for marijuana legalization and this means that the Obama administration could finally make this happen very soon. There is no doubt that legalizing cannabis is the way to go here, as the war on drugs has failed miserably and it is obvious that marijuana has some medical benefits and will not disappear from the streets any time soon.
