Obama legalizes pot

Now he's made it official policy not to prosecute anyone who grows, sells, or uses marijuana in conformance with their local laws. This is a de facto legalization. Many states have written their laws so loosely that nearly anyone can get a prescription for unverifiable problems like insomnia and anxiety.

This is probably a good thing. Marijuana is not particularly harmful pharmacologically. It makes sense to let adults make their own decisions about it, as we do with alcohol and tobacco, while maintaining strict laws against driving under the influence.

By the way, if you want to make a ridiculous amount of money, I'd suggest going to California and starting a dispensary or grow operation, now that the legal "all-clear" has been sounded.
