Carlos Santana (also know simply by his stage name Santana) is a latin rock musician and guitarist who had hits in the 1960s and '70s such as "Black Magic Woman" (a Fleetwood Mac song) and "Oye Como Va."
While promoting his upcoming residency at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Santana stated he wished President Obama would legalize marijuana. While Obama brushed off the question, Santana claims "making pot legal is really way overdue." He also believes that it should be legalized and all the money invested back into the education system.Breitbart: Carlos Santana wishes Obama would legalize pot(April 3, 2009)
