Marijuana activists seethe at Obama's DNC ad - Kansas City Political Buzz | Examiner.com

clip from article:
After months of relentless federal crackdowns on state-regulated medical marijuana dispensaries, President Barack Obama has appeared in a video with marijuana movie icons Harold and Kumar.
Many marijuana advocates are outraged by the appearance of hypocrisy this video suggests. Kal Penn, who played Kumar Patel in the "Harold and Kumar" films, left his acting career to work for President Obama in 2009 as Associate Director in the White House Office of Public Engagement. His appointment to the White House staff surprised many marijuana activists, mainly due to the political statements of his "Harold and Kumar" role.
