Not a good path to go down. I understand what Ron Paul says. It means that government will have no say in what a person smokes. If they are high , who cares..., don't you believe the government should step in? All we need is everyone high and it is the norm.. what would be next?
Why would you presume everyone would be high if marijuana were legal? Alcohol is legal and everyone is not drunk.
Stupid people will misuse substances whether or not they are legal. Despite their many assertions to the contrary government cannot protect you from stupid people.
Personally, I disagree with marijuana use. That said I do not support government's continued ineffective attempts to control it's use.
Really! Who the heck CARES about what someone does inside the confines of their own home behind closed doors???? Do you think the GOVERNMENT should be able to have a say? For Pete's Sake. Life is too short. Live and let live. As long as the government isn't teaching sex acts in the 6th grade (which they would if the liberals had their way), I'm O.K. with it.
The federal government should protect our right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". Period. Nothing more and nothing less should they do.

Do you realize how much pot is grown here in the US and also brought in illegally. There would be more people than you think and they would be high.. talk to MADD and know there are too many drunks.

"Everyone high". That sounds like, majority rules, to me. Everyone doesn't want to be high but if they did why is it anyones business to tell them they can't.

Yes, I have a good idea of how much pot is grown here. A number of years working in law enforcement did a good job of educating me on both illegal drug issues and the proliferation of drunk drivers on the street at any given time.
Nothing I have seen convinces me the federal government has any business inserting itself into these issues.
This was in the comment section of the above article. It is a message to all the warmongering Democrats and Republicans out there. READ THE THIRD PARAGRAPH.[indent]I am a Sergeant in the U.S. Army. I support Ron Paul and I support his foreign policy. I am sure you would not dare call me a Paultard to my face. No, you would give me the same parroted line I hear 100 times a day, "Thank you for your service". When I hear some flabby couch potato like you say that to me it makes me sick. Yes, I serve our country, but our wars do not. I do my best to keep my men alive while we carry out this sick policy of sticking our noses in other peoples business. When was the last time you had a friend die in your arms or look for the leg that was just blown off of the man next to you? When was the last time you walked past dead children that were killed by U.S. weapons? I'm glad you can sleep at night, because many times I cannot. I have children myself you self righteous SOB. If someone killed my children you can bet I would do everything in my power to seek revenge.
You dare call me rabid and blind? I know what I am talking about. Why don't you grab a gun and head to Iran if you want to fight them so much. Ron Paul is right. They are no threat to us. We need to mind our own business. They hate us not because we are rich and free, they hate us because we are in their countries. It is people like you that are the biggest threat to this country, not Iran.
Total garbage/nonsense, which is why ron paul has zero chance of being elected, and anyone who thinks iran is not a major national security threat to not just the US, but the world, is an idiot.
No but it seems that a lot of war-mongering Americans wish we had or would and think Ron Paul is crazy because he believes Iran is not a threat without an army or a navy and should be left alone.
There are so many idiotic, trolling threads like this on this forum lately, that i really am wondering why I have bothered returning after a month off...

How clueless can a person be? Do you believe all pot smokers stay behind "closed doors" and don't drive? Duhhhhhh.....
