The Obama administration said Tuesday that it “firmly opposes” the legalization of any illicit drugs as California voters head to the polls to consider legalizing marijuana this fall.

The president and his drug czar re-emphasized their opposition to legalizing drugs in the first release of its National Drug Control Strategy this morning.

“Keeping drugs illegal reduces their availability and lessens willingness to use them,” the document, prepared by Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske, says. “That is why this Administration firmly opposes the legalization of marijuana or any other illicit drug.”

No Mr. Obama.... keeping drugs illegal causes a black market and gang violence.

What part of the Volstead Act did you not learn?

Thanks for the "Change", Mr. Obama. Keep on busting those 72-year-old cancer patients for eating MJ Brownies... they are so violent.
