Gary Johnson isn't a republican.I don't think you understand what a real Republican is......Ron Paul is a true Constitutionalist Republican,not a neoCon like these current pretenders.Ron will "never be President" because the controlled media has convinced you and others that he won't,so you won't vote for him like a good sheep.

Even if one of these two got elected pres, they would find a long long road to legalization. Laws are passed only by Congress. We know there are several bills sitting on the table in the House to reform the weed laws. They aren't going anywhere, because the legislators are afraid of the blowback from the public. The public is split about 50-50. If there was any kind of misstep, a Congressman or president could find himself in a firestorm of public outcry. Remember how Clinton came in in 92 singing about ending military's ban on homosexuals? That was his first project, and it caused a huge uproar in Congress and the public that led to don't-ask-don't-tell and an educational lesson for the new president. He thought it would sail right on through.

I remember sitting in a bunker in Vietnam in 1969 and hearing one of my friends say he was certain weed would be legal within five years. NOt only did that not happen, but the weed laws got even worse after that. So I say, don't be too hard on pres. Obama. He will act when the time is right. I wouldn't expect any changes before his reelection, once pressure is off. For him to do something like this now, with so little to gain and so much to lose, would be insane. He might pick up a few votes, but Romney and the other GOPs would howl like wolves. Moreover, a large failure like that would set the legalization movement back 30 years. We need to be smart.
ManOBuds Reviewed by ManOBuds on . NM Politics & The NMMCP I've just returned from a visit to the round house as the New Mexico legislature prepares for their thirty-day special session. Working with the DPA, the New Mexico Medical Cannabis Coalition and various other entities surrounding the cannabis industry, we were able to meet with a great many legislators to discuss our successful medical cannabis program here in New Mexico. We wanted to update legislators on the progress of the program and to get a feel for how the level of support may have Rating: 5
