Legalization Supporters Dominate Digg
April 1st, 2009 by Rick
The Digg power users have latched onto a very hot topic: marijuana.
Ever since President Obama held his Virtual Town Hall meeting and laughed at the issue, Digg users have been busy posting marijuana-related stories, their beliefs on the health benefits and even thoughts on decriminalizing marijuana in order to curb the violence of the drug wars in Mexico.
In fact, many of the posts also reflect their disappointment about voting for President Obama and even talk about not voting for him again — all in response to his answer on the legalization of marijuana.
Keep up the chatter Digg users! The more this information gets out there, the more of an impact it will ultimately have for the change we’ve been expecting for so long. For all those people that are angry at President Obama, I suggest you give it some time… did you really expect his answer to be anything less? Even when he was a Senator in 2004, he was in favor of decriminalizing marijuana but didn’t feel it should be entirely legalized.
More and more influencial people that once held anti-marijuana viewpoints are coming out of the woodwork in favor of medical marijuana, decriminalization and legalization. It’s a work in progress and there are movements in motion right now to bring more pressure to the White House. The Virtual Town Hall meeting was the first step in preperation for that giant leap that needed to be made. Stay up.
