WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama said he doesn't think marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol, "in terms of its impact on the individual consumer."

"As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol," the president said an interview with "The New Yorker" magazine.

Maybe tell your girls that it's illegal. Like they would ever get arrested...and it would of course have been profiling...

We just had an incident in my homeown, Rochester NY. The new mayor is a black female named Lovely Warren. Seems she and her "security" driver (a relative) were stopped for speeding to Albany for the crowning of Cuomo. Going over 90...got stopped. And they got stopped on the way back, too. The excuse is...it's a security feature??? Really??

P.S. A Rochester mayor has NEVER had a private security team.

She fired the police chief, the fire chief...and is talking about a city water park. She's nuts.

yup. And the democrips figure those they’re exploiting are too stupid to realize they’re being used like sheep. I hate to think that about fellow Americans, but there it is.

I think he was stoned out of his mind when he made the recent statement about marijuana.

I am certain Obama was stoned during his first debate with Mitt Romney.

And, Mitt was told to tone it down in the second debate? In the third debate, I believe it was, Mitt should have burned Obama about his performance concerning Benghazi! What happened?

""And African-American kids and Latino kids are more likely to be poor and less likely to have the resources and the support to avoid unduly harsh penalties."

And who's fault is that? Most of those inner-city "kids" behind bars for simple pot possession have records for other offenses. I say it's their parents' and school systems fault, not to mention Fed and State welfare policies.

And here's a clue for you, being the privileged and groomed half-black person you are: Life is not fair, no matter how much you socialists/communists attempt to make it so. Grow up you racist child.

Want to talk about the dis-proportionate black crime versus their percentage of population? Didn't think so, because racists like you and your ilk keep them down with welfare.

The Republican lead welfare reform during the Clinton years was showing some results. You immediately got rid of the work requirement and we're back to square one.

You, Mr. President have pushed the worse policies since our 1997 real estate melt-down. Even then, that originally happened because of your liberal co-horts (Todd and Frank) demanding low-interest loans for years from the financial institutions to people who could not qualify to buy a lawn mover on payments. Yes, the loaners should have said no go. Many were greedy and helped kill our economy through their insane derivative bundling.

Everything negative this Nation has experienced since then has been due to your idiotic policies. Really? 800 million dollars for "shovel ready" jobs that didn't pan out. Now you want more? I personally believe you to be way over your head and have only sycophants to back you. You only appoint those who agree with your Utopian ideology.

As an ex-businessmen, I made a special point of hiring those who would tell me when they thought I was wrong. I wanted the truth of my decisions. Often times, they made since and I changed my position. Your ego just won't let you do the same.

History is going to see you as the worse domestic/economical president ever, but worse, you have alienated our Allys and stupidly embraced our enemies - Muslim Brotherhood for one. You will go down as one of the worse foreign policy presidents this country has witnessed.

Wish your family well, but wish you had never shown up. Plus, your supposed legacy Hillary is no better. Don't even think of promoting the idiot Biden. If I had a dollar for every time he has put his foot in his mouth, I would have a hundred dollars...haha.

Yeah, well, that explains a lot about his attitude toward things, doesn’t it?

and this:

“Titcombe was arrested for soliciting a prostitute and has made news repeatedly by traveling to Washington, D.C. to deliver “fish and poi” to Obama in the White House. “Fish and poi” is common Hawaiian slang for “weed and coke”.

Ib...If memory serves me right Douglas Ginsberg’s nomination to SCOTUS was shot down because of previous MJ use. Hmmmm! Double standard here?

He did coke and banged a few men in his early years as well, plus he’s a muslim, a usurper, a marxist and a narcissistic piece of shit.

Smoking pot is the least of offenses.

Would think of him more as the bangee instead of the banger.

EXCEPT the medical evidence that proves it alters the minds of youth who smoke it. Apart from that, then you bet, no different....
