The Drug Lords International has sent a new message to Presidente Barack Obama!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/object>The Drug Lords international (DLI) is expressing it’s grave concern about the outcome of recent referenda in the United States of America that would allow the non-medical use of cannabis by adults in the states of Colorado and Washington. This would take the profit out of our member’s hands, we would not be able to buy guns and pay corrupt officials. In our short video message we call upon Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, to intervene.<\/p>\n
