I know. me PERSONALLY, I would not vote for someone who was against MMJ. i'm a certified nursing assistant sitting with hospice patients/end of life care. I sat with a man with stage 4 lung cancer, he was about 6' 3 and maybe around 110 lbs, all i wanted to do was break out the bowl and let him hit hit(or bake some brownies or somethin) I thought about that every day until the day he passed. I would LOVE to at least see mmj pass a majority of states if not all states. I'd rather see it decriminalized of course, but i just don't see that happening for a while. I think medical marijuana has a better shot at being passed than being decriminalized. I don't profit on the war of drugs haha, I don't deal and if I DID have a grow it'd be personal use only.
where did i say i was worried?
if pot were made a death penalty offense tomorrow, i'd simply find a new line of work.![]()
you know the president isn't really "in control", don't you?

The sentence of death can be carried out on a defendant who has been found guilty of manufacturing, importing or distributing a controlled substance if the act was committed as part of a continuing criminal enterprise – but only if the defendant is (1) the principal administrator, organizer, or leader of the enterprise or is one of several such principal administrators, organizers, or leaders, and (2) the quantity of the controlled substance is 60,000 kilograms or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of marijuana, or 60,000 or more marijuana plants, or the if the enterprise received more than $20 million in gross receipts during any 12-month period of its existence.
Um there is a Death Penalty today http://norml.org/laws/penalties/item/federal-penalties-2
Just so you know.
One more delightful quote:
"Then again, Mr. Paul said, the conventional wisdom that a third-party run would draw voters overwhelmingly from the Republican Party is not necessarily true. “They keep saying, ‘Ron Paul would really hurt the Republicans.’ Not by our statistics. The base of the Democratic Party is very tired of Obama.”
The whole damn country is very tired of Obama!
He won't get the Republican nomination, but he muddied the waters for both parties with all of his talk of freedom and adhering to constitutional principles. How radical of him! It is clear that his message resonates with a large portion of Americans, the independent voters. RP will carry a substantial number of delegates with him the R convention, which assures him of a major speech there and also assures some compromise from the eventual nominee, probably Romney. The next president can't win the election without embracing some of those libertarian principles and appeasing the independents.
If Obama comes right out and promises that he will withdraw troops from Afghansitan within six months of reelection, AND he promises to remove Cannabis from schedule 1 of the CSA, then he gets my vote. Same for Romney. If both candidates embrace those principles, then I vote Romney. If both candidates continue the status quo, then I vote third party (Gary Johnson).

This is true but only because of an erroneous perception.
Nearly all the presidents haven't been in control because they are career politicians. Career politicians take orders rather than give orders. Someone like RP would give orders. Whether or not those orders come to fruition is the question.
All the other GOP's for who knows how many decades have been delusional, puppet-strung, wackos. Most of America drinks the delusional, puppet-strung kool-aid though, so it's no wonder people side with the weirdos running this country.
I find the real reasons people don't like Paul is because they either have a sense of self-entitlement, or they believe his policies (if passed) would jeopardize those that can't take care of themselves which is "unfair" in today's society. In other words today's society essentially, artificially prevents those who cannot take care of themselves, from being claimed by Darwin's Theory. This is the complete opposite as to the conditions this country was founded on. People will say it's "not the same though" in regards to modern society, as it was back then. I find that it's just another way of people claiming "it's not fair".
The only real truth about society today that isn't fair, is that a good portion of America including government workers, subsidized civilians, subsidized infrastructure (both private and government), and subsidized business (both private and government), are robbing others who can efficiently take care of their jobs, bills, infrastructure, and businesses. In other words taking from those who can, in order to give to those who can't.
If you can't carry your weight you should be fed to the wolves, not forcing the wolves to bring you your next meal.
