Drug policy groups are calling on President Obama to talk about legalizing marijuana after the top 100 questions posed to him for a YouTube "interview" turned out to be about the topic.

Obama will answer questions Thursday afternoon from people who sent submissions to a YouTube channel billed as a chance for the president to discuss issues more in-depth after his State of the Union speech. Obama didn't mention drug policy in his speech.

"Several of the most popular questions also address why our elected leaders have virtually ignored these important issues," read a statement by the Drug Policy Alliance, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, the Marijuana Policy Project, NORML and Students for Sensible Drug Policy.
I see members of the DU are going to be busy for this one!

Uh huh.

Seems like he's the first president to ever share fond memories of drugs or alcohol.

Despite Clinton's stupid 'I didn't inhale', at least he had the decency to keep it mostly to himself.  Really, I don't care what you did when you were 20... I just don't need to hear about it.
