1. Done. I voted No.

Kidding. :evilgrin:

The yeas are leading (complete) the nays follow and the fewest votes are for Yes in certain circumstances.

The Libertarian in me says "yes"...................

[Ken Burch]

4. The common sense in BOTH of us says "yes"

the Libertarian Party didn't invent the idea.

[Warren DeMontague]

7. You don't have to be libertarian- in any sense- to support legalizing pot

I mean, there is NO good reason why it should be illegal. Even if you accept that the government has the right to tell consenting adults not to ingest dangerous substances (except nicotine and alcohol, of course) ... pot is far and away much more benign than a long list of legal substances. It's insane to criminalize it, and massively counter-productive.

The only people who have a rational (if selfish and misguided) reason for wanting it to remain illegal are the folks who make their living off the gravy train associated with 'fighting' it.

2. I voted yes!

3. I voted yes

I have never seen marijuana or anyone using it. When I got a knee replacement, my doctor and I were joking about politics and when the subject came up, he said I was one of the people it would help. He does not prescribe it.

I don't think good jail space should be wasted on something like marijuana usage.

9. voted yes, of course, but the poll is subtly rigged....

The yes vote is diluted into two categories while no just means no. I'm glad to see the plain yes vote is prevailing, but note that at least at present it doesn't represent a clear majority of the voters, while it WOULD if all the yes votes were consolidated into one category. I hate that sort of manipulation.

10. I was born here and left without looking back in 1969...well, I'm back

taking care of my 94 yr. old mother. I don't see this ever flying here. This isn't a state that embraces anything progressive imho. One of the reasons I had to leave. Some things never change.

11. Pot questions lead Youube Obama questions!

Change.org is once again asking the American public for questions for President Obama, based on their top concerns. This time it's in the form of "Your Interview with the President, hosted on YouTube. And once again, marijuana legalization questions are dominating the polling, by one account nailing down the top 50 spots based on popular vote.

But unsurprisingly, the subject of marijuana doesn't show up anywhere on the YouTube site -- unless you do some sorting.

Rather than being allowed to actually see the obvious popularity of marijuana law reform, visitors have to click "All Questions" and then click "Sort By Popularity" to see that all the questions with the most votes relate to cannabis prohibition in some form.

Here, according to YouTube, are the most popular questions for President Obama as of Tuesday afternoon, January 25. All are about marijuana. ​

​Marijuana was also by far the leading topic last year, but many feel it was swept under the rug, according to Roots at Marijuana Stocks.

"We applaud Change.org for advancing and organizing an event like this and sincerely hope they (unlike last year) take the popularity of the cannabis issue seriously this time around," Roots said. "If not, we'll certainly not applaud them when this event is over."


It's almost as if someone, somewhere, doesn't want any attention brought to the fact that marijuana law reform is one of the top issues on people's minds. Maybe somebody doesn't want that sleeping giant to wake up and seize power.


Who'd wanna do something that Orwellian? And what's so wrong about a public debate on the actual issues?


Readers can still vote on and submit questions until Wednesday, January 26 at midnight Eastern time.


The exclusive YouTube interview with the President will take place on Thursday, January 27.


You can view the site, cast your votes, and submit your questions here: http://www.youtube.com/askobama
