i heard he wanted to legalize it, but i think that is just a rumor. but it would be AWESOME if he did.

Answer 4

As with most issues he does today and does not tomorrow, in one of the debates he said he did not, in a previous speech he said he did.

But as a candidate for the U.S. Senate four years ago, Mr. Obama told Illinois college students that he supported eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana use or possession, according to a videotape of a little noticed debate that was obtained by The Washington Times.

"I think we need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws," Mr. Obama told an audience during a debate at Northwestern University in 2004. "But I'm not somebody who believes in legalization of marijuana."
