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.

    Legalization will take all the fun out of it. I'll have to just start using more LSD I guess.

      Or you could start doing LDS, but that'd just be mormonic.

    Shouldn't the heading read Paul-Frank? Or is Barney just that much more fun to say?

    3. SELLING or BUYING it (or any other naturally occurring psychoactive substance*) should be illegal.

    If you attempt to take away my ability to purchase coffee, I WILL KILL YOU!
