Publisher's note: President Obama sat down with Vice News in a revealing interview about his views on the MJ debate, and reiterated his position that marijuana is a substance that has potential for abuse, just like alcohol and tobacco, but that he sees things loosening up on the federal level and sees "progress" as far as decriminalization. He also took issue with the fact that the MJ issue was the VICE audience's "number one question," when climate change, jobs, war and peace should be top priorities. However this is far and away his most candid interview about MJ. See the whole Vice News interview, above. Scroll to 13:52 for the MJ-specific questions.
