Eating it is expensive and not as cool.

Some of US may find this way cool, but do you honestly think most Republicans are going to agree?

Point taken.

I agree that most Republicans would not necessarily agree, and that this is not an issue that Dr. Paul has made a keystone argument of his campaign.

And it is probably in the best interest of the movement that it is also not something to shout from the rooftops to the average joe. Not when there are so many other critical issues that are less divisive.

But nothing wrong with making sure your kind friends know!

I did find it interesting that the MSM did not pick up at all and run with the comment Ron Paul made in the last Mtv debate about ethanol from hemp. I didn't hear a peep. I expected them to use that to marginalize him. Maybe they thought it would backfire if they did.

In looking for some data to answer your (I believe, rhetorical) question, LibertyEagle, I found some 2005 results. I was surpised the numbers weren't higher.

Legalization of Marijuana by Party Affiliation
Republicans
Yes 21%
No 77%
Dems
Yes 37%
No 59%
Independents
Yes 44%
No 52%

% of NO respondents who would change to YES after one trip to Amsterdam - 75!

You mean the ones who have trampled civil liberties over this? The ones who use whatever boogieman they can find to scare people into voting for them? No. Of course not.

Regular people that vote republican because they think republicans protect civil liberties? Yes. It's not surprising that entire states are moving toward decriminalization. I don't see how anyone can objectively say the drug war is anything but a failure on several fronts.

The populace in general does not support a war on cannabis. In fact, if someone could get stoners to vote, this would have been a non-issue long ago. Why let drug warriors lie to your fellow republicans?

Check out the Marc Emery documentary, "Prince of Pot": http://www.youtube.com/user/princeofpot

There's a really spooky scene in there, with a Canadian Mountie singing the US National Anthem. This whole thing is just one more catalyst to bring in the NAU.

Speaking of Marc Emery, what a horrible injustice that case is. Not only do we have our military all over but also the DEA wants to bring him here and put him in prison for selling seeds! Or at least that is what they say, although clearly it is because he pissed them off. I cannot believe our DEA has offices in Canada and moreover that the Canadian government would allow one of their citizens to be extradited here to stand trial for something that is a $200 fine there. That is a real twisted situation... It goes to show what incredible power the US has and how unjust our justice department really is. And people wonder why the world hates us...

Seriously, man.

this is such BS...

Apparantly Emery is a huge libertarian: http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/5047.html

Check out his readings.

I hope he comes out okay..
