2. Why did the people laugh before President Obama made the joke?
I was glad to hear him praise the student for questioning conventional wisdom though. That's certainly a nice way to look at it. I'm glad he is at last open minded enough to do that much. Hey, a girl can dream. :P

Maybe next generation when I'm 80 or so, they'll finally legalize both. I could at least still enjoy the weed then, anyhow. Hey, a girl can dream. :evilgrin:

6. they were laughing because he was suggesting them not as good public policy
but as a contributing effort in job creation. Sounded like something from Animal House.

4. It wasn't marijuana it was; prostitution, gambling and drugs.

7. "Non-violent crime" too.
The question was phrased in a way that Obama could only answer one way.

5. Feels like the actual answer is not in this video, which is too bad. I'm interested in whatever...
...substantive response he gave, if any.
