Bob Barr will be debating in NYC in January on guess what topic? Medical marijuana.

Who's he debating?

Has Barr changed from his Drug Warrier days?:

Suggesting the depth of hostility toward the notion of legal drugs, Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., asked whether anti-racketeering laws could be used to prosecute people conspiring to legalize drugs. McCaffrey shot back that doing so "would have a chilling effect on the right of free speech."

Barr wanted to keep drugs illegal and prosecute advocacy of legalization. Even Drug Csar McCaffrey sttod closer to the libertrians on that one.

Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance. Some debate. More like a circle jerk.
