Paul said that he doesnt support people using marijuana but said he also doesnt necessarily support putting them in jail for extended periods of time.
He's falling for the fantasy that people are in jail for the drug use when the reality is that they end up in jail over other crimes with drugs being an associated crime.

there’s a guy in federal jail for 40 years due to drug possession along with a ‘dangerous weapon’ (he had a gun on him when busted).
That is ridiculous.
To: JohnPDuncan
Yeah, it’s a real shame Hussein wasn’t tossed in jail. Damn our luck.
To: JohnPDuncan
Um, that argument doesn’t resonate much with me, considering I could easily done without both Bush and Obama having political careers.

I wasn’t aware that Bush admitted to anything.

So if you remove the gun he would be in jail for 40 years?
I think I’d have to know a lot more about the case and his history.

There are dozens of these cases where they get 40, 50 years.. sometimes due to repeat offense or ‘having a dangerous weapon’. The judges have no discretion because of Congress and their federal minimum sentences:

What illegal drug did George Bush use? Rand Paul is going off the deep end if he is accusing GW of having used illegal drugs. GW was a drinker and alcohol isn’t illegal.
To: AppyPappy
You are right, he also expressly denied using ‘hard drugs’ which, of course, means to many an admission of using other drugs. I’m afraid Rand has been reading some of his daddy’s propaganda sources.

Just the kind of psycho-babble I’d expect from the son of Ron Paul!

For a rookie Senator, Paul may be letting his ego get out of hand, this was a stupid thing to claim about Bush, it was an ugly smear to promote drugs.

Sounds like Rand Paul is going the fair and balanced route which the Libs love.
Exactly what drug did Bush use?

I know a guy with 3 different marijuana possession arrests over a 30 year period. The 4th time it was manufacturing with intent to distribute and he still didn’t go to jail.
He says they don’t send him to jail because he’s a good source of money for the state.
