Cenk Uygur (www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses President Barack Obama his message to stoners on 4/20. "President Barack Obama had a positive message for medical marijuana users on April 20, 2015; go forth and toke. April 20th, or 4/20 is a celebratory day within the cannabis user subculture, much like the celebratory time is 4:20pm. President Obama has admitted to using marijuana on several occasions and has also spoken out in support of legalization of the drug at the state level. The drug continues to see wider acceptance with a bill currently in Congress that would allow federal funds to be used to research and possibly develop safer strains for the public to consume. Obama recently told the press in an interview that he supports legalization and would continue to support it as the drug moves through state legislation. A federal ban still stands regardless of what states chose to do with the legality of the drug, either for medical or recreational use." Is it time to legalize marijuana?
