“During his first term, President Obama really disappointed those of us who hoped he might follow through on his campaign pledges to respect state medical marijuana laws,” said Neill Franklin, a Baltimore narcotic officer who serves as executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. “Still, I’m hopeful that in his second term he’ll realize the political opportunity that exists to do the right thing. Polls show 80% support for medical marijuana, and in Colorado marijuana legalization got more votes than the president did in this most recent election.”
