President Barack Obama says he won’t go after Washington state and Colorado for legalizing marijuana.

In a Barbara Walters interview airing Friday on ABC, Obama is asked whether he supports making pot legal. He says _ quote _ “I wouldn’t go that far.”

But the president won’t pursue the issue in the states where voters legalized the use of marijuana in the November elections. Marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

Obama says _ quote _ “It does not make sense from a prioritization point of view” to focus on drug use in states where it is now legal.

    I have been clean and sober over 25 year’s, August 6, 1987. I have fibro, diabetes, arthritis, back surgeries and was in a serious auto wreck. I have been married to my Peggy for nearly 50 year’s.
    I have been on Vicodin and percocet for year’s and I hate pain pill’s, they do NO good for me.
    Last week I smoked a small hit of marijuana, about half the size of a dime. I used a can and hid in my garage when I did it. My sobriety is so important to me. When i smoked the first time I recorded the event. I went in my house, sat in my chair (with my little dog) and I basked in the relief. My feet, legs,hands, arms, shoulders, neck, back, NOTHING hurt. I knew the pain was there but it was covered. This was the best I had felt for over 20 years.
    The relief lasted 3 hour’s. I would fight anyone that says it shouldn’t be prescribed for pain. I suffered too long because I was afraid to try it. I smoked so much before I got clean and sober. Then I used it for a high, not relief.
    If you ever need a testimony from a recovering alcoholic and drug addict call 503-442-2744.
    I feel great!!!
