While waiting for Congress to evolve, President Obama, once a regular recreational marijuana smoker,
could practice some evolution of his own. He could order the attorney
general to conduct the study necessary to support removal of marijuana
from Schedule I. Earlier this year, he told The New Yorker
that he considered marijuana less dangerous than alcohol in its impact
on individuals, and made it clear that he was troubled by the
disproportionate number of arrests of African-Americans and Latinos on
charges of possession. For that reason, he said, he supported the
Colorado and Washington experiments.
