The White House Responds To We the People Petition

First time accepted submitter Nysul writes "The White House, aiming to gather the opinion (or marketing data) of the internet nation, asked for our thoughts by creating the We the People site and now it has responded to some of the more popular petitions, such as marijuana reform and separation of church and state. You probably won't be surprised at the answers."

I read their claim that marijuana is addictive. You can lie to my face all you want, but don't expect me to vote for you.

So are you ignorant or just lying to yourself?

Anyone who's smoked pot for any length of time is fully aware of its addictive properties and the withdrawal that follows running out. Keep showing people exactly how uninformed you are when trying to get it legalized, that'll surely help. Do you not get bitchy when you run out of pot?

Its withdrawal effects aren't anything compared to nicotine or heroine, they certainly exist.
