Republican: Obama administration fosters use of marijuana
By Michael O'Brien - 09/21/10 01:48 PM ET


Rep. Lamar Smith (Texas) accused the administration of being too lax in its enforcement of drug laws.

President Obama's drug policies are encouraging increased marijuana use, a top Republican lawmaker charged Tuesday.

Rep. Lamar Smith (Texas), the top Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee who would likely become chairman of the committee under a GOP majority, accused the administration of being too lax in its enforcement of drug laws.

"The administration is clearly sending the message that they don't think it's bad to use marijuana," Smith said on Fox News. "So they're encouraging the use of marijuana. And that simply is not a good thing to do."

Smith blamed the administration's decision to not enforce federal laws against marijuana dispensaries in states that have legalized the drug for medicinal purposes. Smith blamed the administration's approach on drug laws for recent statistics showing an increased use of marijuana.

He's been chicken-shit on the cannabis issue, as he has been on so many other things.

Sad, because I think we recently got past the point where advocating for cannabis is sure political suicide.
