Why does President Obama ignore the question of legalizing hemp?

Most presidents try to avoid extremely controversial and polarizing issues, especially during an election year. While there are certainly many people (especially young adults) who would like to see marijuana legalized, there are just as many others who are equally strong in their opposition. And among those who are opposed to legalization are many members of law enforcement. Thus, it is doubtful the president will come out in favor of legalization any time soon.


Will Barack Obama legalize marijuana?

This comes from the White House: "Marijuana legalization for any purpose is a non-starter in the Obama administration." Also "The costs of legalizing marijuana would outweigh any possible tax that could be levied." As for medical marijuana, federally the only thing close to marijuana that you can be prescribed is Marinol which comes in the form of a pill or liquid. Some state governments allow actual marijuana to be prescribed but anyone participating in the use of it, even though prescribed can be punished by federal law. So the answer is no.
