Cannabis has made possible a very long prohibition, but it is also a
sort of fatal error for the bandits.
Congressmen Barney Frank and Ron Paul have introduced a bill in the
U.S. House of Representatives that would allow states to legalize or
otherwise liberalize marijuana laws without interference from the
federal government.
I think Ron Paul is against the prohibition of any drug, and I listen
to some of his speech showing the failure of the 'war on drugs', and
that was very nice. But I am not sure of what he thinks on other
political domains.
He's a libertarian, which means he's against any government social
safety net (e.g. medicare, social security) and any government
regulation (e.g. food and drug administration, environmental protection
agency, gun control laws) and against any stationing of U.S. soldiers
overseas. He deviates from strict libertarian ideas in that he thinks
states should be able to restrict or ban abortions.
Well, I can't certainly NOT vote for him, as an european 'course.
I think there are to many negatives in that sentence.

A pity, somehow, given that prohibition is an international problem.
