But it isn't legal under federal law, it's a serious felony. I know Rand isn't a lawyer, but he has to know that much.

"I know Rand isn't a lawyer,..." Don't worry. He'll create his own Bar complete with a take-home, open book Bar Exam.
...right after he sleeps at a Holiday Inn Express.

Paul is courting pot donors?
OK, so instead of sending a check to Cruz, I send an ounce of pot to Paul.
What could go wrong?

“Paul is first major-party candidate to court pot donors”
Many years ago I was a “card carrying” member of the Libertarian Party until I gave it up when I finally realized that the singular most important thing in their political plank was to FIRST, legalize all drugs and pot and after that, they would consider other items of lesser importance.
It’s still that way today after I left the party over 25 years ago.

In EVERY encounter I have had with the LIEbertarians, the keystone has been unrestricted access to narcotics (free to smoke dope).
Now that they can (at least in Colorado for now) use EBT cards to pay for their fix, they can smoke FREE dope.

These grow shop owners are sitting on millions in cash. I think this is smart. I am not a Rand fan, but if he is first to tap these new lobbyists good for him.

The fact that they are unindicted felons means nothing, of course.

That depends on whether you believe in the 10th amendment. Powers reserved to the states or the People. In this case the people. (ballot initiative)
At this point of lawless government, what difference does it make anyway?

Well, I’ll say one thing for Paul. At least he stands up for his libertarian convictions. They aren’t conservative convictions, but most of the politicians who say they are “conservative” seem to have no convictions at all. At least with Paul I know where he stands.
To: SpeakerToAnimals
Can’t disagree. Notice the donors to other candidates. . .look more ethical to you?
