When Obama's transition team answered "President-elect Obama is not in favor of the legalization of marijuana," they meant:

On today’s Stash I bring you stories. First in Hemp Headlines I tell the story of the Marine corporal who lost all his military benefits for a doobie. Then, Ken Wolski from Coalition for Medical Marijuana New Jersey is here to tell the story of Mike Miceli, a medical marijuana patient. Finally, Brian Michaels, a defense attorney in Eugene, Oregon, appeared on the legal panel of the Oregon Medical Cannabis Awards to discuss DUII and medical marijuana.
We believe that the bill will be posted for a vote by the entire NJ senate as early as January, 2009.
