It's commendable to keep cannabis (marijuana) away from children, however, using lies, half-truths and propaganda along with caging responsible adults who use the plant, is the wrong way to do it. Citizens are waking up from decades of discredited prohibitionist government-subsidized propaganda, and it's commendable and refreshing that President Obama is acknowledging that fact.
