I will continue to exercise my right to voice my opinions even if you "tell" me not too. Hilarious that you think you have the right to do so.

You absolutely have the right to voice your opinion. Now that you have stated that your opinion on this subject is rooted in ignorance I wouldn't expect anyone to take your opinion seriously, however.

And I will exercise my right to tell you that you are wrong because you have absolutely no basis for such an opinion. But such is the mind of a liberal, have an opinion with no back-up.

I am a conservative. By the way, everyone is entitled to an opinion. There is no rule that you have to have substantiating evidence to have an opinion.

Yours is the post of the night. Thank you! Opinions are not facts. Opinions are gut feelings. No links needed.

Umm are you actually saying that your opinions are based on no research or evidence? You just gut check it? Wow.

Default Gary Johnson sides with the majority

While only 50% of Americans want cannabis ("marijuana") re-legalized, amongst those who've studied the issue, the % wanting it legalized is much higher. It is the #1 request @whitehouse.gov/ but Obama and
Romney won't talk about it. A CNN online poll says 96% feel it should be legal, 2% said for medical only, and only 2% said illegal for all. Most people who use it do so to feel better & it usually works. Some who call themselves a recreational user, when asked why a person who just naturally feels fine all the time would use it, think a bit and often admit they use it to control depression, anxiety, anger, or body pain.

Top expert Dr. Lester Grinspoon, retired from Harvard Med. Sch. has compiled a lost of over 120 medical conditions where some people said it worked better than pills. Cannabis oil was in pharmacies until 1937, when cancer was rare. Now 60% of Americans get cancer, 30% of Americans die from cancer. And there are many anecdotal reports lately about people being cured of cancer & other sometimes fatal illnesses. Gary Johnson used "marijuana" 3 years for pain after falling 50' with broken bones: back, leg & rib. He could have has am operation &/or got hooked on prescription opiates.

Why should harmless Americans be put in jail/prison for use of a plant? It's not based on any medical facts, or what used to be our Constitutional rights. Slot has been written about the drug war and the benefits of ending it.

Libertarians believe in tolerance, that everyone should have equal rights & respect. Gary Johnson doesn't hate anyone, he cares about the 100% equally, & sides with the majority. He will talk to anyone, that's how he learns what different people want. Gary is trying to create a more united USA & world, by trying to get people to be more tolerant & less hateful. ISideWith dot com has a fun survey you can do that shows your % of agreement with each of several presidential candidates.

Libertarians believe we shouldn't spend money we don't have & we shouldn't waste money. They also believe that we should get back our Constitutional rights. Essentially, people can do what they want as long as it doesn't harm or seriously endanger another person or their property. I just did an internet search for Gary Johnson & got 84.1 million results. He may not win this time, but if he gets over 5% this time. Libertarian Party qualifies as Major Party & Gary gets $90 million from Feds for a likely win in 2016.
