He was a libertarian and probably a curmudgeon. In the High Times interview back, hmm, early-1980s or maybe 1890s I dunno, he talked about being on a plane next to a Spanish politician (maybe their head of state) and being asked for some advice. His political aspirations were probably never 100 percent serious, but he said his platform was to dismantle the federal gov't except for the DoD. Sort of constructionist. :^)
