He is such an idiot when it comes to pot. It is pretty dismaying that someone so clueless can be calling policy when it comes to this issue.
His views are basically '50's era, "Reefer Madness" paranoia. He makes claims such as marijuana leading to opioid addiction and being only "slightly less awful" than heroin that actually fly in the face of scientific evidence. Opioid addiction has gone down in states where medical marijuana is legal. And this is not surprising - if pot is prescribed for pain, it obviously gives patients and doctors an alternative to much more addicting and dangerous painkillers.
Now, he wants the ability to enforce federal laws on pot, and basically ignore states rights. It really makes me sick to think about. How can small-gov't, states rights conservatives support this?
