Should Obama Think Twice about Pot?

Joshua Green's 2009 article from the Atlantic monthly instructs if Barack Obama should think twice about legalizing marijuana to grow the economy. Mr. Green first stated that today Barack emphasized in his virtual town hall meeting that legalizing marijuana wouldn't be the right way to put the U.S back on its tracks. I thought it might be a great idea because several of people buy weed from other sources and they keep buying from those the illegal way. For example in the article I read last week "Cannabusiness" it stated that just in California itself generates $100 million in sales tax of medical marijuana, imagine the the full package we will get from legalizing marijuana. Green thinks he shouldn't have killed the dream of legalizing marijuana, but he should think it twice because it can save this country less than a second. His purpose is to give the reader a thought if Obama should change his mind about marijuana and the economy. He seems to have a political and common person in mind who is concerned about their future.

1.Is Joshua Green right about Obama thinking twice?

2. Will Obama change his mind about legalizing marijuana?
