PRESIDENT'S FULL STATEMENT ON MARIJUANA SENT MESSAGE KIDS MIGHT LISTEN TO

President's full statement on marijuana sent message kids might listen
to I read with interest "Public deserves apology from Obama on
marijuana" (guest column, Feb. 5) and wonder why the President's
entire statement regarding marijuana is not included in this piece? He
is quoted out of context.

President Obama went on to clarify his marijuana-less-dangerous-than-pot
position by stating "in terms of its impact on the individual
consumer. It1s not something I encourage, and I've told my daughters I
think it1s a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy."

Now that's a message our kids might believe.
