President Barack Obama says though he doesn’t think legalizing marijuana will end America’s drug problem, he believes pot should be regulated the same way cigarettes and alcohol are regulated.
Obama, in an interview with Rolling Stone published Tuesday, said regulating marijuana is a much smarter way to handle the issue that continuing to treat it as a Schedule I drug.
Marijuana has been legalized for at least medical use in 26 states and the District of Columbia, with three more states set to join their ranks in the wake of the recent election. Eight states — California, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Colorado, Washington, Alaska and Oregon — and the District of Columbia permit recreational use. In addition, some cities, particularly Chicago and New York, allow individuals to possess small amounts of marijuana, issuing tickets for possession but no criminal penalties.
