You just disqualified Ronald Reagan as a Conservative. It is a common misconception among libertarians who are attracted to the large voice of this website that they and their idiotic political philosophy represent the purest form of Conservatism. In fact, libertarianism and conservatism are actually different factions within the Republican party. Drug legalization is universally understood to fall under the libertarian umbrella. When Ronald Reagan was governor of California, and for a short while afterward, when he was attempting to build a coalition within the Republican Party, he briefly experimented with some libertarian ideas (drug legalization was not one of them). But just as he was once a Democrat who saw the error of his ways, Reagan later rejected libertarianism completely, and eventually revamped Nixon's "War On Drugs" and built it up with federal resources into essentially the form we know today. The Ronald Reagan who we elected president, and who is the role model for modern Conservatives, wanted nothing to do with libertarianism, and would have undoubtedly vetoed a marijuana legalization bill handed to him by a Republican majority. But I guess its possible that the two of you know more about conservatism than Ronald Reagan.
Put that in your pipes and smoke it.
This bill is about allowing the people of the States to decide whether or not to legalize marijuana in their state. It’s a transfer of power from the Feds to the States and therefore a good (and Conservative) thing. I’m sorry if you can’t understand that.
Sorry, I must be in the wrong place.
You can have you war on drugs and take responsibility for the consequences, costs in $$$ and liberty lost.
Obviously TRUE conservatives require no support from those of us who do not agree with you 100%.
I’ll just consider myself an independent who supports the constitution, personal responsibility and liberty.
