Ron Paul is a dope smoker?

I've never met someone who supports legalizing dope who also wasn't an open or closet doper.

I'm willing to entertain the idea that they could exist, in theory, but I doubt it.

Anyway, Paul and the Paulettes will be right at home among the muzzies, they love dope and opium too.

Well, you travel in narrow circles. And to suggest that Paul is a dope smoker, when he is well known as not one, shows your ignorance.

Ron Paul is an MD and an ob/gyn. They're not known for whiffing the buds.

Dr. Paul is not nearly as strong an advocate for legalizing drugs as he is for decriminalizing them, in particular, imposing long prison sentences for drug users. He feels it's excessive and that it has never deterred use. He has the statistics on his side.

He has a real passion though for the legalization of industrial hemp which can be used to replace paper and plastic products, can be grown on marginal lands...it's just a shame we put a stop to it because of the fear that someone might smoke some. Of course, they'd have to smoke hundreds of pounds of an industrial hemp to get high but that doesn't matter to the feds. In addition, if farmers grew the industrial kind, the pollen spread in the air would be ruinous to the high-dollar corps grown by cannabis growers, pretty much forcing them to move their operations indoor inside sealed rooms to avoid the contamination from the bad industrial hemp pollen.

Dr. Paul does favor medical cannabis for certain patients. These include glaucoma patients and also chemotherapy and AIDS patients who lose their appetites from the drugs and wither away by not eating enough. Although a pharmaceutical was introduced to try to mimic real cannabis, the patients all seem to regard it as undesirable and second-rate, even those who disapprove of cannabis use prior to their illness.
