Gil Kerlikowske shamed himself and the current administration by submitting a condescending restatement of the governments repugnant positions on drug policy as a response to 150,000 US citizens demanding the legalization of marijuana.
We demand that Barack Obama himself, not Gil Kerlikowske (who is legally barred from voicing support for the legalization of any schedule 1 substance), give a direct answer to the following question:
Why does marijuana remain a schedule 1 substance despite the fact that %50 of Americans want it legalized, ample evidence from reputable research organizations proves its medical efficacy and safety, and numerous prestigious federal boards and non-governmental research organizations recommend that its possession, use, and sale be legalized and regulated?
