    Ron Paul will call the feds of of marijuana legislation and other drugs too. Vote for him if you are tired of your friends, family and neighbors getting busted and thrown in prison.

    Also he wants to make hemp legal.

    What other reasons would someone vote for him? Only because of legalization? I'd rather it stay illegal if I knew whatever candidate would actually make some good changes in our country...

    There's a lot more to voting for someone than whoever is going to legalize drugs that will only give people the go-ahead to get behind the wheel high and kill more people. I say legalize it when we get DUIs in order with alcohol, let alone weed, acid, etc... In the meantime, if a friend of mine is being stupid with drugs then they belong in jail...

    Dennis Kucinich would do the same, but I think he has a brain when it comes to other things. But neither of these men will ever get close to the white house.

    Wow I am surprised that people here are against legalization of pot on the federal level. Must be a lot of dealers here. IMO only dealers cartel and politicians who receive support from them would be against legalization.

    BTW Ron Paul has a very good chance of winning. Try listening to what he says rather than big corporate owned media talking heads it might change your mind. Ron Paul is a very brave man who else is willing to take on the BS of our government?

    No one man or one candidate alone will ever do anything for the cannabis community. Ron Paul and others may want legalization, and they tell you that they would try to implement some sort of change, because ideally they would. But, and it's a big but, realistically their hands are more or less tied when it comes to such decisions.

    There is no knight on any white horse over the horizon for any real change in America. If change is coming, it must and will have to come from the people. Not those who pretend to protect your interests while receiving fat cheques from the very companies who also pretend to care about your interests while behind the curtain they are the very powers that are slowly stripping you of them.

    Don't vote, instead spend your time demanding real change in any way you possibly can. The people greatly out number the criminals in charge, and once everyone realises that change can happen through collective interest, the criminals in office will be scared shitless.

    He has no chance of winning. The huge corporations who run things in this country are not behind him. Many of the progressives who are attracted to his stance on legalizing drugs will turn away when they learn he does not think the government should protect the environment.

    He thinks people ought to have the right to defend themselves against people who would pollute their land and air and that all that money funneling into the EPA ought to be going into your pocket not their's.

    Government is too big and controls most of the markets that's why we are going broke.

    I like what https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLsCC0LZxkY"]Milton Friedman said about drugs being illegal is a moral problem not an economic problem he says no way in a free country should drugs be illegal because of the market demand. Ron Paul says the same thing.

    I guess ya'll would rather have the candidate who laughs at you for asking to make pot legalization up for debate. The government needs to be mad smaller and more manageable and cut billions per year out of the budget.

    If Ron Paul or any other candidate that thought independantly of the corporate machine began to be taken seriously enough that there MIGHT really be a chance to get elected-s/he would be subject to the Kennedy solution. He'll soon be smeared as a "nut" ,if he hasn't already ,by the corporate media.

    Just continue to smoke and convince society their is nothing wrong with it. Eventually we might have enough voices, because in the ends its what we need, everyone to speak out.

    He's delusional, but is the only honest big politician there is.

    I don't know what I'd do, if it was ron paul vs. obama. The war on drugs is just such a massive issue, it shapes the whole culture of our country. We could fix the other things later with a sane president, and keep drugs legal.

    Exactly what do you think he is delusional about? That the economy is tanking? That we are spending too much on war? That we need to mind our own business in foreign affairs and trade with people and be friends instead of bombing them and installing out dictators? or that the government has no right to tell you what you can and cannot do with your personal life? which would include getting married if you are gay, smoking pot in the privacy of your own home, buying meats and vegetables from local growers, going to an alternative doctor and use alternative medicine, medical privacy, and private property rights.

    Right-Ron Paul's not delusional, he's just different. He was my congressman before I left the States-I was proud to have been represented by him

    Ron Paul is gaining a lot of traction. Already the other candidates are starting to lean towards his ideas. One thing I think the Republicans are starting to realize is that they cannot win without Ron Paul's people voting for their candidate.

    His stance on the wars is even starting to affect what Obama is doing. The people are tired of wars and very alarmed at the cost to human life and our economy. Economically and morally the drug war does not make sense.

    Ron Paul is a great candidate. I don't see how he is dilusional he is just different from mainstream republicans he is a traditional conservative or a libertarian (essentially the same thing). He want environmental programs to go to the court and use traditional individual private property when you can go to court because someone is destroying your land. He also has a huge grassroots base more than any other candidate, he also has no corporation funds so every penny that is donated is from normal people. Also he is one of the few truthful politicians.

    The libertarian idea on protecting the environment -- suing -- will not work. It will pit ordinary people against big corporation lawyers. That's not fair and the environment will suffer.

    You do know that at the beginning of the industrial revolution people were very successful in suing corporations. This took profits away from them so they decided to lobby so they could get away with more. They got there wish and look at were we are now. Cap and trade doesn't take anything from the big corporations it is pocket change. Also that money goes to the government and not to the people that need it to fix up what they destroy.
