The Obama campaign seems to be using stoner humor to attract attention, which delights younger voters who might be ignorant of the President’s aggressive, unprecedented attack on legal medical marijuana dispensaries.
…the administration has unleashed an interagency cannabis crackdown that goes beyond anything seen under the Bush administration, with more than 100 raids, primarily on California pot dispensaries, many of them operating in full compliance with state laws. Since October 2009, the Justice Department has conducted more than 170 aggressive SWAT-style raids in 9 medical marijuana states, resulting in at least 61 federal indictments, according to data compiled by Americans for Safe Access, an advocacy group. Federal authorities have also seized property from landlords who rent space to growers, threatening them with prosecution, and authorities have even considered taking action against newspapers selling ad space to dispensaries.
“There’s no question that Obama is the worst president on medical marijuana,” Rob Kampia, executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project, told Rolling Stone in February.
The Obama campaign can’t have it both ways. Don’t giggle at Harold & Kumar while arresting hundreds of thousands of people each year for marijuana violations. It’s just not funny.
