10 Reasons to Celebrate

February 3rd, 2009 by Perry

Barack Obama

NORML says the marijuana community has 10 reasons to be optimistic about legalization this year, inspired by the recent news that Michael Phelps tokes up.

While the first three reasons are kind of similar (No. 1 is the President, No. 2 is medicine, and No. 3 is politics), they are all decent reasons why marijuana could be legalized sooner rather than later.

There’s also a few reasons why the community shouldn’t get that excited yet though. What about the fact that Phelps had to publicly apologize for the picture that leaked of him smoking pot. One news agency actually referred to what Phelps is holding as a “huge bong,” and the quotes are not mine.

I’m also thinking that Holder, Obama’s DA, may not be as green friendly of a selection as we’d hoped for O, but I could be wrong. Although the federal raids haven’t stopped yet…

    I honestly have no hope for our cause at all. The political bs runs too deep in this country and sadly, I don’t think that will change anytime soon.

    so what is the current status of the raids? i was hearing mixed reports about the bush admin being involved with the first one that took place in 09 but im not sure what the deal is. Is the pres directly in charge of these operations?
