President Obama: Stop Marijuana Arrests
Dear Damien,

We wanted to send you an important action alert on behalf of a campaign by the Drug Policy Alliance asking President Obama to stop the arrest of consenting adults for using or growing marijuana for personal, medical, or research purposes.

President Obama himself smoked marijuana, but few people think he deserved to be put in jail for it. At least three other presidents have smoked marijuana, and they too didn't deserve to be jailed for it. But if that's the case, the hundreds of thousands of marijuana arrests that happen each year in this country are complete hypocrisy.

The president agrees that we should be treating drug use as a health issue and not a criminal justice one. His attorney general indicated recently that the U.S. Justice Department is going to stop wasting federal resources arresting medical marijuana patients and providers. Together, we can end the senseless, violent prohibition on marijuana, if the president will stop arresting people now for what he has done himself.

Join the movement to tell President Obama to stop the senseless violence of the prohibition on marijuana today.

This is great! Im signing this petitioner today. I am very glad to see this, it means people working in change.gov do not agree with the Presidents recent comments disgracing the medical marijuana community.

P.s. Its really dick for them to be requiring names & addressees of people signing this petition.
