Two legalize presidents in one year

Anyone notice there are two candidates taking a stab to run for office this year who want to end the war on drugs?
Seems pretty heady to me. Don't know if any them will win, but I think it's a sign of whats to come.

You realise they'll change their tune as soon as they're elected?

Ron Paul seems pretty sincere to me. I like how even though he claims to be against things he realizes that it doesn't mean it should be illegal.

Really? I don't see what benefit is in it for him to go against the popular vote of keeping drugs illegal.
I think what most politicians do is say these promises that they acutally believe in at the time, then they get elected to the presidency and realize "wholly fuck I don't know what I'm doing!". Things look a whole lot different from "higher" up.

Definitely, but I don't think he's bullshitting about legalizing since it's pretty much part of his campaign. I mean, not even Obama was campaigning to decriminalize or legalize.
Can we trust him? I don't know but I don't think campaigning to legalize weed is the easiest show to run. I don't think he would make such an issue out of it if he was full of it.

Ron Paul
Quote:
Q: In your 1988 campaign you said, “All drugs should be decriminalized. Drugs should be distributed by any adult to other adults. There should be no controls on production, supply or purchase for adults.” Is that still your position?
A: Yeah. It’s sor of like alcohol. Alcohol’s a deadly drug, kills more people than anything else. And today the absurdity on this war on drugs has just been horrible. Now the federal government takes over and overrules states where state laws permit medicinal marijuana 1 for people dying of cancer. The federal government goes in and arrests these people, put them in prison with mandatory sentences. This war on drugs is totally out of control. If you want to regulate cigarettes and alcohol and drugs, it should be at the state level. That’s where I stand on it. The federal government has no prerogatives on this.
Q: But you would decriminalize it?
A: I would, at the federal level. I don’t have control over the states. And that’s why the Constitution’s there.

idk if i want paul or johnson.
both are for legalization, but i think I might vote for Johnson if he gets the GOP spot only because he would have a much better chance of winning than a 3rd party runner

They're both running on the same party no? Only one would make it to the final election anyway unless Paul split off and ran independent which I don't think he will do.
