This isn’t going to win him any votes, I don’t understand it. There must be some political reason for it.

Second, late last week, the Drug Enforcement Administration concluded that marijuana has no accepted medical use. So the DEA rejected a years-long effort to reclassify marijuana from a heavily restricted drug like heroin under the Controlled Substances Act to one that can be used more widely.So, who do we believe, the DEA or the HHS who has held a US patent on the use of medical marijuana since 2003?

He’s doing it for donations from drug dealers for protecting their profits.
Crony capitalism lives.

There's a lot of money in pot, both to the dealers and to the law-enforcement and penal bureaucracies that live off busting pot smokers. And if it's made legal and anybody can grow pot in their back yards, lots of people's income goes away.

Very powerful drug bosses in Mexico are going to be subject to arrest without Obama. To keep the drugs flowing into the US from Mexico, he has to have the power to :
1) control the drug lords
2) control the price
He shuttled guns to Mexico via Fast and Furious. What makes you think he stopped when he got caught?

Scalia must be pleased:
...the authority to enact laws necessary and proper for the regulation of interstate commerce is not limited to laws governing intrastate activities that substantially affect interstate commerce. Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce.
Scalia concurring in Raich

The cultivation and use of a common plant ought to be beneath the dignity of the state to address or acknowledge.
At some point in time, more important matters will demand attention. Don’t hold your breath, however.

Even Scalia has gone over to the dark side.

Big Pharma. We have to keep taking their toxic drugs that cost a fortune and create other medical problems.
My daughter is on medical marijuana. She was in med school and had to drop out due to daily, debilitating migraines. She tried every medicine and combo thereof for 3 years with no relief.
Finally she got medical marijuana. It works. Can’t have that.
