Cain supports state sovereignty on many issues, including education.
Making a pitch for the Ron Paul crowd???
If he pounds on this and especially states rights, he may have a chance.
Does he still have an interest in God fathers Pizza ? Boost sales
Can the states also legalize murder, rape and child molestation?
ugh
I wish we had a real candidate in this race.
I’m not in favor of outright legalization all at once but think it could be acceptable over time to give the inevitable regulation a chance to keep pace.
Between this and “I don’t think we should bomb Iran” he is losing support faster than the Lakeshore Drive Bimbo can drive it away.
It is ironic that the 0bama appointed U.S. Attorneys in California are closing down the pot shops. Bush’s U.S. Attorneys looked the other way and allowed them to stay open and sell American product grown by Americans. Now the Mexican cartels will fill the void. I would not be suprised if the Mexican cartels used their political influence to accomplish this.
Overturn Wickard v Filburn, and let the chips fall.
I support it. The DEA should get out of the business of going after sick Americans and go after the dangerous drug cartels. Its an agency that has lost sight of its true mission - to protect America from organized crime and the dangerous drugs.
You can’t “loosen restrictions” without taking it off Schedule 1, can you?
Herman Cain does not believe the Federal government should meddle in issues which he thinks belongs to the states, and I think he is correct. The people have more to say about what the state does than the Fed. So I understand why Herman Cain answers the way he does.
He is for smaller government where the people have more control over their lives. Most policies which concern the people directly are best handled closer to home.
But, Mr. Cain, abortion is murder, and murder is a serious crime all over the country. So I am for an appeal of Roe vs Wade.
I think this is great. I seriously never smoked pot but why spend so much money on a drug that is all natural? I guess they have made it a bit stronger than it used to be but the amount of money we spend on legal and police are astronomical. Cain is for smaller government and I am all for it.
Dope....
I just read the excerpt, but I’m seeing this as MEDICAL marijuana. A far cry from legalizing ALL marijuana.
Or is it? Slippery slope here.
Cain needs to be careful. If he even HINTS that legalizing dope should be a States Rights Issue.. then he’s toast. No better than RoPaul.
I am more impressed by Mr. Cain every day.
I’m with him on this one, but it isn’t likely to endear him to some social conservatives.
On the other hand, he might “clarify” this tomorrow, and I’ll look silly for saying I liked something he said.
The legal status of Marijuana borders on insanity. 41% of Americans have tried it, yet users clog the justice system. It falls into the same class as heroine, yet is less addictive than coffee.
We know prohibition fails, yet we still fund an entire agency just to implement those policies. Policies that (applied to alcohol) proved to increase crime, and burdens society by creating an entire class of criminals who live normal lives.
