Are there any presidential candidates running that are for legalizing cannabis?

Question

If so, who are they?

Officer Meeney; sounds to me that you’re just a small town cop. Population 500. What? Couldn’t make it as a city cop? Was it too scary for you?

Watzzup, thanks for the name.

Thank you everyone for your input.

Jenab6 and Mary W, I appreciate the time you guys took and I would like to say “Right On!”

Answer 1

Ron Paul is in favor of medicinal use. And I believe he would legalize for personal because he's against the private prison system that profits from jailing people for smoking a "doob" after work.

Answer 2

There are always more candidates in an election to a high public office than you hear about. In our media managed democracy, only the professional politicians with "movie star" status are able to garner the financial support necessary for running a campaign. And, of those, only the traitors can garner the favor of the media Jews, which is necessary for getting the "airbrush & shoe polish" repect from reporters during interviews.

Do you realize how carefully staged political events are? People who disagree with a candidate are kept away. Sometimes, they are dragged away. If the candidate has the favor of the media bosses, you'll never be shown anything that will let you know that the audience is cherrypicked.

Democracy with this kind of information management does not achieve the classic goals that democracy was intented to reach. It does not give the governed population the ability to shape their own national destiny. That power resides with whoever controls the mass media, because those media bosses determine what the public will know about any candidate in any election.

If the media bosses organize themselves in pursuit of an agenda, they can make people think that most of they, the people, desire the goals of the agenda, when this is not true. With continuous television propaganda, the media bosses can convince people that their agenda's goals are morally good things, when this isn't true, either. And the media bosses can present their agenda as inevitable anyway, as a sort of manifest destiny with unstoppable historical inertia, when that is also a lie.

All of those tricks occur in mass democracies today. The agenda which the media push is almost always Zionism, which is among the most powerful corrupting forces in our world; it's on the same level as corporate capitalism, with which it frequently is in collaboration.

The reason marijuana is illegal is that the people who produce it enjoy higher profits if they can sell the stuff on a black market. If marijuana were legal, anybody could grow it without fear of being confined in one of the government's nasty prisons. The abundance of homegrown would drive the prices down, and the drug lords would lose money.

So the drug lords don't want legalization. They bribe our state and federal lawmakers to keep marijuana illegal. Some people don't understand that this actually makes good economic sense, as long as the weight of law enforcement falls only on the little guy.

But do the media promote an awareness of the real reason for marijuana's continuing status as contraband? No. They don't. Why not? My first guess would be that the media bosses are getting a cut of the drug lords' bribe money, but of course I have no way of finding out. That's the sort of thing you just can't learn by watching TV.

There may be a few, but it is always for medicinal use. Because this question really gets my goat, I must continue ....the problem here is the government thinks there is control in what and who brings in drugs in general to the US. WE HAVE NO CONTROL! If the government has no control, then we really have no system. Since we gave up our constitutionally protected rights with the 9/11 tragedy and the passage of the 2001 US Patriot Act, the government thinks they have a right to "investigate" anybody in the hopes of catching terrorists. Personally, I think the government should refuse to prosecute other kinds of cases - if someone takes and OD is dies - so be it!!!
Our prisons and jails are at over-capacity and the quickest way to reduce the problem is to let the drug users and abusers out. The REAL problem is "how can the government tell its citizens that they are no longer going to prosecute those offenders". POLITICS, POLITICS, POLITICS!!!

Answer 4

I haven't heard any of them talk about it. I assume you are talking about the U.S.? I think they have more important issues on their minds. But if you want to smoke pot legally all you have to do is move to San Diego CA. They have made it so all you have to do is go to this one Dr. tell him you have a headache or whatever and he gives you a prescription then you go to the pot store and buy what ever type you can afford. All of this is not cheap but hey it's a start. There are a few quirks they have to iron out though like its legal for you to buy the pot for the medical problem the Dr. subscribed for you and it's legal for you to smoke it but you can still get busted for possession. lol go figure

Answer 5

Not very likely

The cannabis is the Devil's Weed. We need to keep it illegal, because as a police officer, I greatly enjoy arresting the scumbags who smoke it.

It makes me very happy to jail hippies and other miscreants. They are losers who deserve to be incarcerated.

Also, we impound their vehicles and charge enormous fees for them to recover it. This makes perfect sense. Druggies need to have their property confiscated.

Answer 6

None that I know of. Maybe for medical use, but not for bars or home use.

Answer 7

McCain wants to use bud.

Answer 8

Not that I know.
