mike gravel for president and ron paul for vp

marijuana should be legal, drugs on the other hand not so much...caffeine is a drug/stimulant by the way. marijuana is safer than alcohol, it's not just an opinion it really is.

I mean, how do you declare war on the entire population for the "bad" actions of 5-10% of 300 million people??? How do you justify that? It's madness.
Anyone who still defends the War on Drugs is either a shill for the DEA and ONDCP or is a mondo idiot. You can't look at the facts on the ground and come to any other conclusion except "The Drug War has failed!" How has it "succeeded"? The problem with measuring 'success' is that a lot of it is generational differences in preference.

And when weed users get caught, they very often get mistreated as "addicts" and have to waste time in some "treatment program", even if it was their first time doing it, all because courts and law enforcement won't admit to all the facts that WE THE PEOPLE have known for years!! They keep pretending to be in the dark and won't have an honest debate with us over better policy.

Most people are more affected by the negative impact of the War on Drugs than drug use themselves. Before the War on Drugs, addicts weren't afraid to get treatment and ask for help. Now, if they do, they could very easily go to jail, or if they got caught before treatment for addiction, they'd just go to jail and possibly have to go through some idiotic state-mandated program that might not be all that effective.

That's just fearmongering. The drug warriors are notorious for that kind of fear-based propaganda. Society never has and never will go down the toilet if we relax restrictions on private drug use among individuals. MOST people who use drugs are able to moderate their use and do fine! And yet we focus on those few cases here and there where people die from addiction or overdose. Why? Just barely 10% or 5% of Americans are even regular drug users or addicts. It's not such a huge deal, really

Do you want more drugs to ALCOHOL?
you compare cocaine to caffeine?
you should treat drug abuse PROBLEMS
instead of legalization to destroy society.
In europe there was such polemic which
ended by public rejection of drugs.you
are naifs and dangerous.



Wow, very impressive how he tells the truth without hesitation. What other candidate would be so up-front? Some of them will admit drug use, but it's always like pulling teeth. Not with Mike Gravel. He just tells the truth right away.

There's this thing about Gravel: somehow I just like him. He really strikes me as compassionate and friendly, and genuinely so. Lots of people talk about "healing America", but I'm pretty sure Gravel would actually DO THIS.
