change for cannibis

So guess what the number one issues facing America is today (at least, according to the website of President-elect Barack Obama)?

That's right: the legalization of marijuana.

Not Wall Street, the economy, or education (although they did rank high on the list of important issues)...but pot. Specifically, the question for Obama that received the greatest number of votes went something like this:

"Will you consider legalizing marijuana so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it, and create millions of new jobs and create a billion dollar industry right here in the U.S.?"

In fact, when you look at the top twenty questions on the website, apparently drugs were on everyone's mind. This website broke it down, and discovered that "[two] of the top ten, and six of the top twenty questions addressed our government’s policies surrounding cannabis (recreational and medicinal) and the War on Drugs in general."

Good to know that America has her priorities straight.
