National Cancer Institute Says Marijuana is Helpful

[Oddball]

I'm talking about general political support, and you know it.

When the Democrat Party comes out with a plank which unambiguously calls for the end of the idiotic "war" on (some) drugs, or even the repeal of Marijuana Tax Stamp Act, then all the self-serving grumbling about the unjustness of the federal MJ laws from the left is just that...Self-serving grumbling.

Positively fucked up as the GOP is (I'm still an LP voter, just for the record), at least Dr. Ron Paul has the 'nads to take a stand on this one.

Bill Buckley made that observation decades ago...Dr. Ron Paul concurs.

I don't think you could even get Bernie Sanders or Dennis Kucinnich to come out and say that the "war" on (some) drugs is an abysmal failure and needs to end.

I think they've both come out against the war on drugs. Can't find quotes though.
