His administration (eventually) got out of the way in medical marijuana and legal marijuana states. He is mostly letting the great social experiment continue.

Just this week, he expressed support for a bill that get the feds out of state medical marijuana laws.

His administration has pushed hard for--and won--serious, dramatic drug sentencing reforms that have seen thousands get out of prisons, with thousand more to come.

Attorney General Holder has made serious moves to rein in asset forfeiture abuse, both by feds and by state and local cops using the federal "equitable sharing" program.

We couldn't have expected much more from any president.

The president can't legalize weed. Congress can. I'd give it until about 2024.

campaign for it.

there are lots of things he can still do now for the next 6 months or so before the elections start heating up.


he talks a great game and he hasnt bullied the states out of legalizing and helped with some banking reforms i give him that. more then bush would have.


but a new GOP president can revers it all on day one. we need more substance. something more concrete.

rescheduling would be the biggest thing he could do and he does have the power he just has to use it

He appointed an Attorney General who doesn't support marijuana legalization...or him!

my hopes are fading on the prospects for this issue

Loretta Lynch as AG is not going to be helpful
