Obama Laughs Off Pot Legalization Talk at Town Hall Meeting

During the last three "Open for Questions" public inquiries, cannabis legalization has dominated the field. This is a legitimate concern of the American public and is absolutely related to the economy, which was the main focus of this "round" of questions. Each time the President has issued a plain "No" - either in the form of "President Obama does not support the legalization of marijuana," or in this case, "I don't think that is a good strategy to grow our economy."

If he feels this way, that is his prerogative; but the American public deserves to have their questions answered in detail. We should know WHY he feels that way, and it's about time he gives a real answer instead of dismissing the legalization issue as a silly waste of time.
