Those remarks follow comments issued last summer by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts), who introduced H.R. 5843 -- an act to remove federal penalties for the use of marijuana by "responsible adults." ...

Barney the pervert delivers for the forces of evil once again.

What a disgustingly corrupt administration will be ruling our lives and putting the finishing touches on ruining our economy!

[BenLurkin]

by the end of his tenure in office.

Why wait/

Just to create an election year issue that attract the young and the listless to the voting booth, of course.

Cynical bastard.

Meanwhile, they’re on the road to criminalizing tobacco, sugar, fat, fast food, and junk food.

Barry can obey Soros’ Prime Directive if he wants but he will declare himself as frivolous in the eyes of the public if he does so.

“President O-bong-o” is not the sort of “branding” any administration should want to take on.

[Cicero]

George Soros wants to decriminalize drugs.

[pepperhead]

Is Big Jail-Prison going to allow it?

[trumandogz]

Unfortunately, there is no way Obama or any president and Congress will do this.

Barney the pervert delivers for the forces of evil once again.

Pot is the forces of evil?

Really?

[mysterio]

decriminalizing marijuana by the end of his tenure

Why wait? Do it now. The drug war is a farce.

[Fresh Wind]

Rats know that once pot is legal, they can tax it.

[weegee]

Given that employers ALREADY can refuse to hire a TOBACCO smoker and prohibit such activity even OFF company time away from company property, the decriminalization and possible legalization of dope still does not mean that all Americans would be permitted to use said substance (certainly if pilots and even stewardesses are prohibited from drinking, something like 24 hours before a flight), other job fields would employ the same standard.

But then, if you are a dope head, and want to lay on a couch all day, and concede that you can’t get a number of jobs because of the use of pot, then it will drop the unemployment rate by not SEEKING employment. Score one for Obamonics.

[utahson]

Libetards will love Obama for doing that then and will put on their knee pads to worship the one. They will vote in droves like mindless zombies to support his reelection because he allowed them to smoke their fat doobies. And that will be the only reason, Obama will make such a move “at the end” of his administration, to secure reelection. And the doobie smoking idiots will reelect him.

[AmericanVictory]

Heey, everything’s cool, man!

We told you it was Jeemy redux.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I just want industrial hemp to be legalized.

[BuddhaBrown]

While Obama’s motives should always be suspect, clearly a FREERepublic should allow folks to be dopes if they so desire.

I fail to see how it is any worse than the much more immediately dangerous consumption of alcohol.

[LouD]

Marijuana will be legal some day, because the many law students who now smoke pot will some day become Congressmen and legalize it in order to protect themselves. -Lenny Bruce, 1963

The Communists are always happy to provide “the masses” with a way to keep their minds off of the misery of living in a corrupt Communist system. The Soviets used Vodka. I guess “pot” is just as good for use here.

Where does the Constitution delegate to the feds the power to penalize individuals for marijuana possession, in your personal view?
