He just wants to decriminalize drugs on a federal level and make it up to the states to decide whether it should be legal or not but yes he supports marijuana legalization.
Maybe the 16/17 year old kids But most real stoner adults have had their rights violated for so long that they realize how important freedom is....hence why they support Ron Paul.
there's not a chance in hell he would be elected, so by voting for him I'm guessing people are just trying to make a statement?
Am I the only one who could really care less? I mean I'm still in my second year of college and I still don't follow these politics and there bullshit. I guess once I get into the work force I will pay more attention but ehh idk.
actually that was not the only policy i care about. however i do care about why does my friend get to pound down 12 beers in a bar and people cheer. i smoke some pot and i got cops hitting me with night sticks.
don't be a defeatist nothing ever got solved or acomplished by being pessimistic like just shooting down possibilities because of the odds even a foot in the door is something to build on should have qouted but its still relevant
So you are saying that businesses should be controlled by the government and don't believe in capitalism? The day America turns socialist and I'm paying 10 bucks for gas is the day I'm leaving, lol.
Even if he did become president, which he won't, doesn't mean he's going to be able to legalize marijuana, he would be able to get the justice department off states back's though when it comes to their rights in regards to MM. I wouldn't vote for him, even though I do agree with him on some issues, I'm too critical of methodologies used by the Austrian school of economics to consider voting for someone who believed in it.
no. he doesn't want to legalize all drugs. he wants you to have the right as a free person to choose whether or not you want to do drugs. Also it would be up t the states to decide, Ron Paul feels as though the federal government shouldn't be involved in such matters.. according to the constitution. no but a republican has, and that's what Paul is running as. and yeah he's a huge long shot.. but he's raising more money and doing way better in the polls than i expected.
that or they're voting for the candidate that best represents their views? Some people vote for who they think will win. some vote based on who the TV says they should vote for. and some vote for who they think is the best choice based on researching their voting records and policies.
Presidents don't just make all the laws. They have to write one and it has to pass through congress and all that shit. The president isn't king.
Don't vote for Ron Paul, he can't win. Vote for one of the corporate puppets who will continue to ruin this country because the tv said they can win. I'm clearly being sarcastic but I'm starting to believe that people are actually stupid enough to think this way.
Also.. You see on youtube Obama's answer to the war on drugs before he was elected president... It's without a doubt the one of the most pro-marijuana answers I've ever heard from a politician. Intelligent and well spoken, too. Fast forward to him as president... Laughs off the question, says there's more important issues at hand.
[quote name='"BluntSmoka420"']thats the problem with most stoners. The only policies they look at is marijuana legalization, please just don't vote[/quote] Pretty much. Not stoners really, just kids who are over excited about their new party drug possibily becoming legal. They don't want to/can't look into the rest of Paul's policies.
