president obama sought a new way to answer to the things that you have to ask him . so he operated a " virtual townhall " in which anyone could write in words and he would answer them individually . he was asked many challenges , and two of the most important was about the legalized of opium . it was very discreet about it . we will give you the full question : " with over 1 out of 30 americans controlled by the jail system , why not decriminalize , control , and tax this to change the failed war on narcotics into a money creating , funds saved boost to the economies ? do we really need that many victimless people ? " the director ' s answer was a strategical point . he started by quoting the matter he was asked and was because banning marijuana could improve the economy and economic creation . and he answered : " the answer is no , i don ' t think that ' s a good strategy to grow our economy . all correct . " .
President Obama is in favour of the legalization of marijuana.
