Politics, U.S.: 420 advocates celebrate 4/20, hope for pot legalization

  • It is the biggest moment yet. There’s a sense that the notion of legalizing marijuana is starting to cross the fringes into mainstream debate.
  • Ethan Nadelmann • Founder and executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance. Nadelmann notes that there’s growing mainstream support of pot legalization. Annoying loudmouths on different sides of the political spectrum Glenn Beck and Jack Cafferty both support legalization. It’s high times for High Times, apparently, who will be holding a beauty pageant tomorrow. • source

U.S.: Backin’ off the pot: Obama yields marijuana policy to states

  • What the president said during the campaign, you’ll be surprised to know, will be consistent with what we’ll be doing here in law enforcement. What he said during the campaign is now American policy.
  • Attorney General Eric Holder • on the policy the government will take with regards to pot, specifically medical marijuana. Advocates say the policy change is encouraging. No word yet from Cheech and Chong, but considering Chong was put in jail due to the Bush administration’s drug policy, we can assume he’s a fan. • source
