Drugs destroy families and lives. I have zero respect for anyone pro-legalization. It decimated my friendships because all my "friends" cared about was getting high.
Yeah, the issue is personal since my ex friends drug use affected me as all of our friendships were destroyed because all they cared about was getting high.
I don't know about your view that he started the tea party movement, but like I said my issue is his constant ranting about legalization.
Why do you think George Soros has funded every drug legalization proposition???
If you don’t support drug legalization, then contact your state rep and urge him to draft a bill that has harsh penalties for the sale and use of drugs. But don’t advocate unconstitutional power grabs by the federal government. The 18th amendment was passed precisely because members of Congress realized that they didn’t have the Constitutional authority to ban alcohol with a simple federal law. The original intent of the commerce clause does not give Congress the authority to ban drug use within a specific state. The federal war on drugs is a clear assualt on the 10th amendment, and it should be opposed by all true conservatives.
I don’t care about Paul’s stand on drug legalization. To me, this is a secondary issue that will be duked out between the conservatives and libertarians down the road. If you’re worried about this now, you are not looking at the bigger picture of how conservatives and libertarians must unite to stop the progressive movement, and that’s what Paul has done, to bring both groups together.
