Rand Paul talks drug crimes on Fox News Sunday

Rand Paul, the Republican Libertarian senator from Kentucky, outraged many when he said on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace that while he’s not for legalizing drugs, he doesn’t think people should go to jail for nonviolent drug crimes. Paul mentioned that both former president George W. Bush and President Barack Obama could have seen their lives drastically affected by drug-related arrests. Er, wasn’t there another president too? Rand pointed out that Bush and Obama were lucky. Others might say they had money. Either way, it’s pretty clear that the poor get the shaft in the US justice system. Rand Paul may have started a new trend. What are we going to see next, conservatives…

Yes to marijuana and same-sex marriage!!!!

Marijuana legalizing, same-sex marriage, and gay Senators!? Looks like there are some big changes on the horizon for the U.S. For the first time in the history of the U.S. voters had the option to approve same-sex marriage at the ballot box.

Weed legalization: Colorado, Oregon & Washington vote

Marijuana Legalization 2012: On November 6, citizens in Colorado will vote on Amendment 64 (the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act), citizens in Washington State will vote on Initiative 502, and citizens in Oregon will vote on Measure 80 (the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act). This isn’t Trojan horse-style medical marijuana legalization. Each of these measures would permit citizens to possess a defined amount of marijuana, without a doctor’s permit. Polls show strong support for Amendment 64 in Colorado. Opponents, however, worry about motorists driving under the influence of marijuana. Governor John Hickenlooper has argued that legalization would send the message to kids that drugs are OK. Backers of legalization in Oregon said marijuana could increase tourism,…

Obama and marijuana: ‘POT-US’ daze revealed

President Obama wasn’t just a marijuana smoker when he was in high school. He was a pot-smoking innovator, according to new biography Barack Obama: The Story, by biographer David Maraniss. Obama was a member of a group of pot-smoking friends who called themselves the Choom Gang. “Choom” is a Hawaiian word for marijuana. Obama and the Choom Gang rode around in a VW bus called the Choomwagon, which they hot-boxed. Obama believed in “total absorption,” a term he invented. That meant no precious smoke should go to waste. Any person who wasted smoke would be assessed a penalty and miss their next turn when the joint was passed around. When Obama and his friends hot-boxed…

Penn’s podcast rant: Obama’s drug policy is whack

Penn Jillette’s Sunday School Podcast has gotten a lot of attention after Penn went off on an Obama rant. At the center of the rant was the marijuana laws of California. Magician Penn Jillette, of Penn & Teller, is angry at President Obama. He let the world know it during his podcast this past weekend.
