Chelsea Clinton says Hillary won’t “crack down on marijuana”

DAYTON — Chelsea Clinton is a daughter who is very proud of her mom. She said so repeatedly during a talk on Wednesday, Feb. 13, at Sinclair Community College.

In a forum where she answered dozens of questions from the crowd of mostly students and staff, Clinton, 27, displayed a practically encyclopedic knowledge of policies proposed by presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton.

“I do believe this is the most important election in my lifetime,” Clinton said. “My mom is the better candidate.”

Questions posed by audience members ran the gamut, with just one person asking the stereotypical “college kid” question. Clinton parried his question about her mother’s stance on marijuana prohibition by saying that, given the problems facing the nation, Sen. Clinton had no plan to crack down on marijuana.

Stereotypical “college kid” question?  Once again, the media downplays the seriousness of the War on Marijuana.  That college kid could lose his scholarships and grant money and student loans if caught with marijuana.  830,000 lives are shattered every year due to the ancillary harms of a marijuana arrest.  Our domestic police are militarized against our own citizens, breaking down doors and terrifying Americans who might be gardening in their basement.

No plans to crack down… but apparently no plans to lighten up, either…
