Politics: Paul-Barney Bill Would Legalize Marijuana Federally

Posted by timothy on from the states-left-holding-the-nanny-hammer dept.

shafty023 writes "It would appear Ron Paul (R-TX) and Barney Frank (D-MA) are going to be presenting a bill to legalize marijuana and thus end the failed war on drugs finally if it gets passed. What chances do you all think this bill has in the Senate and House or even surviving the president's veto pen?" Note that there would still be plenty of drug war left to go around, even if (as this bill sets out to accomplish) the Federal government stops chasing marijuana.

    While I appreciate your post, trying to reason with these people is almost pointless. The christian cult is founded on guilt because supposedly some hippy in the desert died over two thousand years ago for the "sins" that all past and present inhabitants of this planet had committed and would commit. Guilt. Guilt. Guilt.
