Obama: Nope to dope

27 March, 2009, 13:01

President Obama has categorically opposed the legalization of marijuana in the U.S. Nevertheless, some experts disagree with this decision.

There were many calls to decriminalise and then tax marijuana – money which would seriously aid the US economy in these tough times.

Aaron Houston who's a pro-pot advocate in Washington says the president is missing a trick because weed could bring in up to 40 billion dollars in revenue.

“It’s no laughing matter that drug cartels in Mexico get 70% of their profits from marijuana sales. And it’s also not a laughing matter that we would generate between around 14 to 40 billion dollars in revenue and savings per year if we were to tax and regulate marijuana.”

“What’s also no laughing matter is that our current marijuana laws have simply not worked. 86% of high school seniors say that marijuana is very easy to get – that is a serious problem that needs addressing”.

OBAMA'S ADMINISTRATION IS CLEARLY SENDING MIXED MESSAGES ON THIS ISSUE. HE MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN THE PRESS RELEASE BY HIS ATTORNEY GENERAL EARLY THIS YR. ALSO FEATURED HERE ON SANCTUARY'S COMMUNITY DAILY NEWS AND SANCTUARY TV.

100 million Americans say yes to marijuana

19 May, 2009, 02:28

Marijuana is America’s largest cost crop, said pro-pot advocate in Washington, Aaron Houston, the Director of Government Relations for the Marijuana Policy Project.

It is bigger than corn and wheat combined with a value of about $36 billion per year; and if marijuana wholesale is legalized, not just for medical purposes, the US would make between $14 and $40 billion from the drug.

“There are 13 US states that have legalized medical marijuana but there are about 100 million Americans using marijuana and those people want to admit to government’s survey takers that they have used it,” Houston said.

“Clearly, when we have 100 million people saying they used it to government survey takers it probably would stand to reason. But that number is actually higher because certain people just do not want to tell someone from the government that they have used marijuana, a kind of illegal substance,” he said.

Supporters of legalization say the drug helps to relieve pain and may have huge financial benefit for the country.
