I have a way to get around Obama's objection about ending the drug wars. He said that if we legalize it in the USA drug cartels would take over other countries. They would--if we just open the borders.

Instead completely legalize it, with a provision to not allow foreign imports for 10 years. This would give the US time to stabilize our cannabis economy and cut the legs out from under the cartels. When we can grow our own, or simply buy it, there will be no more cannabis crossing the borders.

I did not watch the video, but the answer is NO.

He will not legalize or decriminalize or do anything productive for the cause.

He is a swindler like everyone else who says they will do something about it. He has proven that very much with the raids in California within the last month ( and months prior). He talks the talk but doesn't have any interest in walking the walk.

Similar to my thoughts on the matter, but with an addition of a 10 year dis-allowance for foreign imports. I hadn't considered that.

Now that i have, i think it's a great idea on the basis that as you stated would give time for the internal stabilization to occur as well as giving a decent amount of time to stably wind down the amount of resources that is currently dedicated to fighting it internally, and redirect their attention to resisting external imports during the 10 year dis-allowance while the dedicated forces are realigned into alternative programs, or if necessary/reasonable, largely cut.

Moving this video to Boise_Lib's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I'll go with NO.

obama's job is maintaining an empire, not being rational.

divide and conquer is how you maintain power.
