Marijuana has been used as medicine for 5,000 years. Up until about 70 years ago it was considered a miraculous plant. We all know about William Randolph Hearst's smear campaign that helped launch the new image of pot, Devil weed. Marijuana was then used as a tool in the government's war on culture. People were singing and dancing, and listening to jazz music, this was unacceptable. Reefer will make a killer out of an honest child, who would likely decapitate his own mother if he had smoked enough of it.
So for some ungodly reason, the misinformed idiots of America swallowed this new information whole, and gave no room to the opposition (comprised of actual doctors) who stood by their beliefs that the plant is both medically beneficial, and ultimately harmless.
Fast forward to more recent memories. Bill Clinton said he tried marijuana once, but didn't inhale. Obviously bullshit, but he was the president so by common sense law he had to deny drug use up and down. Obama said he smoked, and inhaled, frequently. He must have been winking at Mr. Bill in his mind when he said it.
Marijuana is now somewhat legal, on the state level, in a few states, with proper medical documentation. Our culture has been flooded with funny stoner flicks, and most people just don't see the plant as "Devil weed" anymore. So in a time when Cheech and Chong are two of the most legendary names in entertainment, why does our government still put their tail between their legs when legalization comes to the table?
It's obvious really, the dirty bastards are already making their bread through the black market. They have long standing ties with terrorist organizations and Mexican cartels alike. In fact, I would say the US government is probably at the center of the illegal drug trade. This would explain their lack of motivation to move forward, and their useless attempts over the years to make us think weed is equivalent to sin. Pot is bad, Americans should be jailed for it, they say. Well it's working fellas, somehow you have managed to keep the stuff on the black list, despite popular opinions or medical facts.
The truth is, Obama could never legalize marijuana, not with Uncle Sam breathing down his neck. The president is merely a puppet, and his moves are all controlled by the puppet master, who is likely into some very serious drugs himself, and a true cash whore.
Until Uncle Sam is on a ventilator, and the puppet master is dead, we will never know true freedom.

You put it in the right words. I've been trying to do that for a while.
