I think a lot of people get their take on Ron Paul form mass media. You want to talk about deception then just turn on the TV or tune in to a political talk show on the radio. By doing this, you are hearing and seeing want the media wants you to hear, ie:

I see a lot of this 'legalizing weed' stuff and its simply not true. When the media gets a hold of this they digest the truth and regurgitate the opposite. Paul has said he will remove the Federal governments role in criminalizing a plant. Then, leave it to the states. What that means is no more DEA raids on MM patients and dispensaries. Patients will have access to plants, seeds, bud and anything weed related as so the state allows it. If a state to remove all laws the punish the use, sale, possession, cultivation of herb then they have every right - This is the way it used to be!

As for hemp, Paul is the lead sponsor and architect of the 'Industrial Hemp Bill.' Who can criticize him for doing that? It may not easy for Congress to accept it but at least as president he will speak of the benefits instead of adding to the propaganda.

Im open to debate/comments on anything regarding Paul or the upcoming elections...hell, anything pertaining to life, really. All I ask is to keep it articulate and civil.
