Imagine his turnout if he would of timed his visit to coordinate with the Seattle Hemp Fest.

He is a capital “L” Libertarian and should be running as one, instead of trying to harpoon the GOPs chances of beating Hillary.

Paul believes in the legalization of industrial hemp. Paul supported HR 3037 to amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana. This bill would have given the states the power to regulate farming of hemp. The measure would be a first since the national prohibition of industrial hemp farming in the United States. He favors the legalization of marijuana.

Now should we turn to the issue of Gay Marriage?

True, Run Paul is in favor of smoking more than ganja.

Actually, anti marijuana people should be in favor of industrial hemp. It is a very low grade of marijuana and still grows wild in some parts of the country. It is known as ditch weed. You couldn’t get high from it, if you chained smoked it all day. Industrial hemp would make the growing of high grade marijuana much harder on open ground. Pollination from the industrial hemp would lower the potency of the higher grade pot plants.

It would be huge, yes.

Does a capital L libertarian support border security and an end to foreign trade agreements? Or is pro-life as Dr. Paul is?

instead of trying to harpoon the GOPs chances of beating Hillary.

(A) Paul said he won't run as a 3rd party or independent candidate, for the millionth time.
(B) Paul is running as a Republican in the primaries Please explain to me how he's helping Hillary win, unless I didn't get the memo Hillary has become a Republican.
(C) It's not Paul's problem if the GOP loses just because folks don't hold their noses for the GOP nominee and end up staying home or writing in Paul's name.

Paul believes in the legalization of industrial hemp.

Good, so do I. Do you have any idea what the benefits of Hemp are? The Declaration of Independence was written on Hemp. Hemp can be used for fuel for vehicles or paper or clothing.

Paul supported HR 3037 to amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana. This bill would have given the states the power to regulate farming of hemp.

Another positive. Let states grow hemp and get more revenues for their budgets instead of sucking on the federal teat.

The measure would be a first since the national prohibition of industrial hemp farming in the United States. He favors the legalization of marijuana.

You'd have to smoke a telephone pole of hemp in order to get "high", and that's before you'll die from the toxicity. It's impossible to grow marijuana alongside hemp as the two products are different. As for marijuana, let the states deal with it, legalize it, tax it, regulate it, and most of our drug-related problems would go away.
