Medical Cannabis: Voices from the Frontlines » Blog Archive » Wake Up Obama: Cannabis Patients Vote!For Obama's 2008 campaign, I donated money, I went to rallies to show support, I knocked on doors in VA, and on election night I joined thousands in D.C. who descended on the White House to celebrate and sing Na, Na, Na, Na, Good bye to President Bush. I went to sleep that night excited about a new direction for this country that would include me as a recognized medical cannabis patient.
In fewer then fours years of President Obama, we have seen more raids on dispensaries than during the Bush Administrations entire eight-year tenure. The Obama Administration has taken property from landlords, threatened local officials, forced the release of patient records, used the Internal Revenue Service to bankrupt legitimate dispensaries, told banks to purge medical cannabis clients, evicted patients from low-income housing, and denied a petition to recognize the well-established medical value of cannabis.
Now as President Obama approaches the vote on his reelection, I and other medical cannabis patients are finding it impossible to renew our support.
For all of you marijuana advocates--who believed this is it--we have the right President to finally legalize marijuana or at least have it reduced from a schedule 1 substance--to 2 or 3--welcome to the reality of the Obama administration.
Considering his Admitted Drug use when Younger, I guess this makes him a Raging Hypocrite.
Ya think?
