I just want Obama to do ONE more thing before he leaves office [View all]

Well, many more perhaps, but the ONE thing in particular I want him to do is:

Re-classify marijuana from a Schedule I drug to a Schedule II (or preferably Schedule III - best of all, don't list it at all!!)

Selfish? Not at all.

We have a golden opportunity here. 4 states have legalized it for recreational use. Almost a quarter of the states in the union now have medical marijuana. You can just feel the entrepreneurial spirit bursting at the seams over weed. This one more thing would swing the gates wide open and remove a lot of the fear that many people still have.

We could tolerate a lot more uncertainty and ugliness if we could just grow and smoke some weed in peace.
