With all presidential campaigns comes your major issues, taxes, military spending, economy, ect… With this however purposely hidden behind a veil of hesitation comes what I call ‘second string issues.’ Issues that are out there but perhpas the candidates would rather not talk about them or try to avoid whenever possible. I can’t think of a bigger second string issue than that of marajuana legalization. If one can’t stand listening to the rhetoric of candidates on major issues just listen to how they try and manuever when asked about the legalization of marijuana. This is some comic relief at best. President Obama has sort of floated on both sides of this issue throughout his presidency. Just last week he noted that no major change in federal law will probably take place until he is long out of office. So what about the up and comers? If your a Chris Chrisitie follower you better not be a card carrying member of NORMAL. He stated there is no way under his watch that he would ever consider the legalization of marijuana. On the other hand if your a Rick Perry follower go ahead and pull out those Grateful Dead albums, because you will be singing ‘Casey Jones’ until your hearts content. Perry stated he would decriminalize the use of marujuana if elected. Other candidates like Hilaary Clinton kind of throw out the medical usage safety net. With the medical marijuana usage it gives the candidate a little wiggle room to actually avoid the question all together. With this you will hear things like, ‘Well we need a little more research on the subject’ or ‘perhaps we will wait and see what the states have to say about it.’ Either way it’s fun to watch the candidates squirm when asked about the marijuana issue. Until then America, if you feel like lighting one up, proceed with caution. ‘Nice Dreams’ everybody. http://www.mpp.org/our-work/federal-policy/2016-presidential-candidates.htmln.
