Will Obama Legalize Pot?

Admittedly, I'm cleaning out some saved links with this post, but there seems to be some movement toward sanity by the Obama administration on the proven idiocy of euphoriant prohibition.

First there was the painful example of Obama's natural caution that began to afflict him once he got on top and started putting staying on top for the maximum eight years as his first priority.  That got him some headlines like this:
Obama Loses His "Cool"

With his glib dismissal of pot legalization, the president looks less like the man, and more like The Man.
But lately, his point man filling the fascist Caesar, Kaiser, Czar position (created by the oppressors of their own children of the 60's generation) started making the kind of perfectly sensible sounds not heard since the Carter administration.
White House Czar Calls for End to 'War on Drugs'

Drug Czar Calls for End to War on Drugs
 
More on Drug Czar's Bid To End War on Drugs
If you know that euphoriant prohibition for United States adults has been bad for your country, keep the pressure on your elected officials to undo the abomination that has made stupid, useless wars started by lying old cocksuckers more possible, wrecked hundreds of thousands of young lives and wasted billions of dollars criminalizing young people, and blunted the American conscience so badly that we now approve of torturing other human beings when it suits our panicked herd mentality.
 
This has gone on long enough.  I can't see one vainglorious politician's career worth saving while he/she bleats about "political suicide" as another innocent young kid goes to prison for weed.  If they won't get behind decrim, don't give 'em a dime; and vote their sorry asses out.

I am all about trading. You can have legalized pot if we cannot have socialized health care and I can have my guns. How is this deal?

As a Iraq vet with PTSD, I'd be down for that deal. Relaxing in my backyard somewhere far and private with peace and quite. Well except for the sound of my AR-15 target practicing. I'd fight again for the right to smoke marijuana and not have to worry about dealing with dangerous street drug dealers. And yeah since I've been back to this great country, I've had to deal with punk drug dealers pull a shotgun on me and beat the shit out of my friend with it right in front of me. All for a plant that helps me cope. Now I'll probably have more PTSD symptoms from that incident. I blame This countries drug laws for having to deal with these cowardly thugs. I'll risk jail and my life just so I can smoke and not have PTSD symptoms anymore.
