Can you show how he is able to dictate what they do without impunity?

But you are not showing how he could do so with impunity... He doesn't have the unilateral power you are making him out to have.

I did worse than that the summer I finished high school and I turned out perfectly fine.

Yeah some of her "friends" are clearly asshats.
Idk, I wouldn't post pictures of my friends that could create any kind of unwanted drama, that's just not cool man.

It's clear no one read the article I posted earlier in the thread that outlined how hard it would be to do this. Instead its easier to just sit back, remain ignorant, and whine about something you don't understand how it works.

One can only imagine the threads on ats if Obama went ahead and rescheduled pot...
In the tune of some executive order... even threads insinuating Obama taking executive stances were vitriolic to say the least

Bongs are legal.
Water pipes are legal, bongs are not. If you walk into a head shop and say the word "bong" they will throw you out immediately.

Defending him? I'm not defending him. I posted an article that said it wouldn't be easy for him to deschedule it. No one has even addressed it (I doubt anyone even read it), yet here you are asking me questions about Obama's actions like I'm just sitting here biased.
The simple answer is things aren't that easy. No, I don't know why Obama hasn't come out and said pot should be legal, but I also never said that Obama is doing all he can do to legalize it either. My position is and has always been that things aren't so simple and whining about inaction without attempting to fully understand the process involved with legalization 100 years into pot prohibition isn't helping the situation. It just makes you appear ignorant and uninformed. Thus it is hard to take you seriously, and taking pro-pot legalization people seriously is already one of our biggest hurdles politically.
So I strive to be informed so I can present a reasonable argument that is tough to refute by prohibitionists. I suggest you heed my advise, but you are your own person. You can choose to listen to me, or you can continue to believe I'm a hopeless O-bot. It's up to you.
