Ron Paul interviewed on NORML (part 2 of 2)

(Part 2 of 2)
Hadn't seen this uploaded.
05-24 NORML Daily Audio Stash - Thursday, May 24, 2007. Pretty good interview. Note I don't even care for marijuana myself. But I know 90% of marijuana negative information out there is government disinformation propaganda and doesn't fit the true data. Also nations who have backed off of drug war especially concerning marijuana have had much less related drug problems than the USA. In general per capita there is less use in countries where it's legal. No one source of information is going to prove this to anyone. It's a long process of looking at all the data and POVs something most politicians wouldn't dream of when it comes to this controversial topic. Many people take the moral high ground that a government of the people should stand against drugs. The truth is that we own our own bodies. The drug war is against civil liberty, immoral, fruitless, divisive and filled with corruption.

you cant smoke a harmless plant but the government can give a kid a psych evaluation and the courts make him take chemical mind altering drugs. god bless america

Why wont he become the next president? Because of the things you just said. The people that REALLY run our government want to keep the blacks in jail, want to keep the IRS, and want to stay at war. You have to see the bigger picture. It is the international bankers that are in control, and they arent going to let anyone like Ron Paul take any of their power. I truly wish that Ron Paul would win, but the brainwashed people of America arent smart enough to vote for him unfortunately.

The media is pushing and promoting Sarah Palin vs Obama to be the choice in 2012. I hope Dr.Paul runs as a libertarian or independent like Ross Perot did because I'm NOT voting for Palin or Obama.

Very sensible and coherent thought process.  The tables are turning, slowly but surely..

the most common thing a person says after trying pot for the first time is,..."I might be feeling it..."...because the buzz is sooooo much less intence than is expected !

And certainly much less loss of contro, l than with alchohole.

This is more proof that the REAL gateway to drugs is the medicine cabinet . Alot of parents are on some kind of medication . KEEP MIND ALTERING DRUGS AWAY FROM THE YOUTH!!!!

@SmokinGoodMary ---

Sorry, voting ain't gonna do it, the game is rigged.

We need more people like Paul to step-up and get into local government. We the people have to take back government from the criminals, they're not gonna let us vote them out, no fucking way.

Its beyond voting, we need to get involved directly before they close the door.

anti "marijuana" people use oxycontin and injest 6 aspirin for their headache, also force their kids to use amphetamine (adderall) because they dont get enough good score at school... OH and almost forgot, smokes some good old malboro cigarette and drink their jack daniels

Amen.

"In other words, it can get you really really high. "

Not sure what post you are refering to B9boizi9. You need to be more specififc. You can get "really really high" off of lots of things.

In other words, it can get you really really high.
