Marijuana Reform wins in 2008 Election

By "Radical" Russ Belville on November 4, 2008

Along with the victory by President-Elect Obama, we are thrilled to announce that Michigan will now be the thirteenth medical marijuana state with their passage of Proposal 1 and that Massachusetts will now be the thirteenth marijuana decrim state with their passage of Question 2.  We’re still awaiting the results from California on Proposition 5.

    Does anyone know if this article from January contains Obama’s last word on marijuana?

    For the first time since his presidential bid began, the Obama Campaign has clarified the Senator’s position on marijuana: stop arresting people for it.

    The announcement comes as a bit of a surprise after Obama recently raised his hand in opposition to marijuana decrim at a recent democratic debate. Seeking to paint him as a flip-flopper, The Washington Times dug up footage of a 2004 appearance in which Obama said this:

    “I think we need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws,” Mr. Obama told an audience during a debate at Northwestern University in 2004.

    Obama’s campaign is now standing by this earlier statement, claiming that the Senator has “always” supported marijuana decriminalization. This actually makes sense, because Obama’s apparent opposition to decrim during the debate was triggered by a badly worded question from Tim Russert.
