Tell that to Ted Cruz. Better yet, tell him that free people have the freedom to put anything into their bodies that they want to. George Bush 2.0

Not surprised. He's a Goldman Sachs boy. Way too friendly within the neocon world. Mike Lee is okay, but he's made some pretty idiotic statements about Snowden, and at best he's pseudo-liberty.

I've been telling people about this patent for quite some time... It's the height of hypocrisy for our government to claim cannabis has no legitimate medical use and then simultaneously hold the patent on medical uses for it. They patent it and it's STILL schedule I!! It's like the plot to an unbelievably bad comedy that isn't even remotely funny.

Both Boxer and Feinstein have written back to me (more than once) stating that they can't support legalizing hemp growing because it would make the job too difficult for law enforcement efforts to "eradicate marijuana growing operations, since hemp and marijuana look so similar." And they they go on about blah blah blah "marijuana is a dangerous drug" blah blah blah. Really stupid excuse, from every angle. Idiots. (I hope I'm still allowed to call my Senators' comments idiotic here. LOL)

Cruz is actually far less friendly with the "neocon world" than Lee is. I believe Lee is on good terms (on a personal level probably) with Graham and McCain. I don't mind this tactic used by Lee, I think he's playing along so he can get into GOP Senate leadership, but it's not like Cruz is worse than him.
Have you not noticed that when the neocons go after Rand they also tend to bring up Cruz and not Lee? Kristol calls them both anti-military, McCain calls them wacko birds, Peter King calls them isolationists, Cotton confronts Cruz about his and Rand's views on drone use...
I doubt Cruz is aware as to what Rand's hemp amendment contains. He was probably put on the spot and rather than make himself look bad by saying he didn't know, he said he was undecided.

But it's cousin is. Stupid logic I know but this is why social conservatives are against it. Social conservatism is unAmerican i.m.o. as compared to the original American spirit of rugged individualism. I think there's a difference between those who want to go back to the 50's politically and those of us who want to go back to 1776.
Like I said, that's not even the issue at the federal level. Someone like Cruz should understand that it's a jurisdictional issue, that the states have jurisdiction over the issue of drug policy under the 10th amendment, not the federal government.

BREAKING: Ted Cruz really isn't a believer in liberty. Who would've ever guessed from the innumerable amount of anti-liberty statements that he has said in the past?
NEXT UP: How Schumer really isn't much of a libertarian.

He has a solid voting record so far. That's why I'm surprised that he doesn't seem to have a clear understanding of the 10th amendment.

It's pretty easy to have a solid voting record as a senator when the opposing party runs the Senate and the White House.

He's married to Goldman Sachs (literally) so do you think it is even possible for him to do such a thing?
