Pot smokers across the nation converged outside the White House to ask President Obama to remove marijuana from the list of Schedule 1 Controlled substances, which has such other drugs as heroin, PCP, and meth. If you were anywhere in the area during the protest, you were sure to catch a contact from the strong odor of the various selections of weed. Our sources did state that Snoop Dogg was no where in sight. The call for the legalization of marijuana has been argued by many who believe it does no harm to the person.
In the next few weeks, as Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin nears the end of his time in office, his state could make history. If he has his way, Vermont will become the first state in the union to legalize marijuana through its legislature. The four states that have already legalized recreational pot—Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska—all did so by taking the issue to voters through ballot initiatives. The Vermont Senate passed a marijuana legalization bill in February and it is being debated in the House.
Do you agree that weed should be legalized in your state? Should President Obama be the one to take on this issue or should it be left to the states? Leave a comment in the box below.
