Obama Hates Medical Marijuana And He Doesn't Care What The States Think

Because you're looking at it from and ideal point of view of how you would like to construct the world. Legalizing drugs is a pragmatic choice to deal with the situation at hand. It would be nice if we could stuff the cat back in the bag and make it so the illicit drugs the cartels sell suddenly become under the the control of the FDA and no one outside of the pharmaceutical companies knew how and had the resources to make drugs. The fact is, however, that criminals have the ability to make these substances and a lot of people are addicted to them. So, while decriminalization of all drugs would help relieve the stress on our prison systems, legalization would cut the head off of the snake that is responsible for the violent criminal racket that is the illegal drug trade.
