NOT THEIR UNICORN RIDER:

Obama, Once Pot Smokers' Hero, Will Leave Office A Disappointment (Rob Hotakainen, 8/12/16, McClatchy)

On Thursday night, though, legalization advocates had grown weary of the 44th president. They scheduled a protest to throw marijuana seeds on the White House lawn to show their dismay at the Drug Enforcement Administration's rejection of a petition to remove marijuana from its place on the list of most dangerous drugs.

The decision quashed the hopes of legalizers who thought it would be Obama who would finally remove marijuana from the list that includes LSD and heroin.

The long-awaited ruling by the DEA means the federal government's official position is that marijuana has absolutely no medical use.
