Week 9 EOC Wall Street Journal Opionion


I think this should really be an enforced law in all the states of the United States of America.  We have such a problem with drug crimes here in the US and we drug use.  Obama “won’t enforce the law” (Obama) http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/thr-esq?page=3 when it comes to Washington and Colorado law that was passed to legalize recreational use for people in the state.  We are also in a “state of panic” (us citizen) http://portlandtribune.com/ when it comes to are economic crisis in America, and I think that if they were to federally legalize marijuana in the US and tax it like they did when they legalized alcohol, are economy has a fighting chance at revival after the crash in 07.  If they legalized the use of marijuana and started fields to grow crops the farm trade will also increase in revenue for local farmers.  “Farmers in Washington state are already starting to work on permits to grow legal marijuana” (Portland Tribune) http://portlandtribune.com/.   The issue is that president Obama will not enforce a law that was passed in the two states that made marijuana legal in two states, because he doesn’t like it.  That is a huge issue because like in the article we read, what would be the issues on other laws passed in the US and if they are not attractive to the president will he not back them and enforce laws that have been passed by the states voting citizens?  I feel that Obama should enforce the law that has been passed about marijuana and need always enforce laws that have made it to the state voting level.
