SOURCE: www.rawstory.com AUTHOR: Andrew Jones President Barack Obama continued his opposition towards legalizing drugs, including marijuana, this weekend ahead of the Summit of Americans in Colombia. In an interview with Univision's Enrique Acevedo for Al Punto, Obama said that although he was open to discussing the issue, he still would keep his current stance. "I don't mind debate around issues like decriminalization," Obama said. "I personally don't agree that's a solution to the problem. But I think that given the pressures a lot of governments are under. Under resourced, overwhelmed by violence, it's completely understandable that they would look for new approaches. and we want to cooperate with them. I don't think legalization of drugs is the answer."
