Here’s a question for you: why would someone who doesn’t use drugs be working this hard to make them legal? Simply because he’s concerned about poor “kids” in the “inner city”?

He’s not trying to make them legal. That’s a decision for the states like CO and WA where they have already told the Feds to screw off with their marijuana laws.

I don't know, maybe he actually cares about the size of the government?

If your belief in liberty starts and ends with your own personal preferences, then that's not much of a belief in liberty at all.

I do not take illegal drugs, I have no interest in taking illegal drugs. I've never so much as smoked a joint in my life. But I see what a disaster the "War on Drugs" has been, how police powers have been abused and State control over once-free citizens has increased, and I can't see how anyone calling himself a conservative can possibly support it anymore.

Real freedom means you have the right to make choices I wouldn't make.
