Check it out. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/page/2/
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Marijuana backers aren't laughing about President Obama's flippant dismissal of a pot-related question during Thursday's online town hall meeting — and the country's leading marijuana advocacy group, The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, has seen its donations quadruple over the last 24 hours.
Allen St. Pierre, the executive director of NORML, told CNN "our donation boxes started to flood" after Obama laughed off a Web question about whether legalizing marijuana would improve the economy and job creation. St. Pierre said traffic to the group's Web site has "increased precipitously" since Thursday.
"About half of the donation comments have a reference to Mr. Obama's comments," St. Pierre said. "As far as I'm concerned, he could show up every single day and rag on marijuana."

Unfortunate that NORML only garners about $900 a day of average donations. I lend my financial support mainly to the Marijuana Policy Project, which I believe has a more active and engaged lobbying and educational group. They also raise around $3 million a year! I wonder if their donations went up after Obama's negative comments about legalizing marijuana?
