Get Ready for a Marijuana Crackdown

So, Obama’s Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske, recently delivered a speech to the California Police Chiefs Association Conference (pdf of 15 pgs.).  According to a Christian Science Monitor piece titled Marijuana legalization? A White House rebuttal, finally, through Kerlikowske, the ,“Obama White House has finally laid out its most thorough, reasoned rebuttal to arguments for marijuana legalization.”

This does not surprise me in the least, and I intimated as much in a post titled Blowing Commercial Grade Smoke back in December 2008 when an Esquire article came out under the headline Why Obama Really Might Decriminalize Marijuana.

I’ve read through Kerlikowske’s speech, and reviewed some of the statistics he cites within his speech, looking at CDC stats, etc., which have of course been skewed to fit the get tough pose the Obama adminstration is evidently going to take in regards to marijuana.  I’ll allow other organizations, like NORML, provide line by line rebuttals/analysis of Kerlikowske’s talking points and statistical juggling.

Me, I’m going to have a beer and a smoke.
