I must say i'm really excited for this candidate as he's proposing to focus on many things that I have want to see changed. First of all he has stated that he plans to end the war on drugs as well as decriminalizing weed.

He'll also:
* Create a single-payer system of universal health care that provides full coverage for all Americans.
* The immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq and replacing them with an international security force.
* Guaranteed quality education for all, including free pre-kindergarten and college for all who want it.
* Repealing the USA PATRIOT Act.
* Fostering a world of international cooperation.
* Abolishing the death penalty.
* Environmental renewal and clean energy.
* Preventing the privatization of social security.
* Providing full social security benefits at age 65.
* Creating a cabinet-level "Department of Peace"
* Ratifying the ABM Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol.
* Introducing reforms to bring about instant-runoff voting.
* Protecting a woman's right to choose while decreasing the number of abortions performed in the U.S.
* Legalizing same-sex marriage.
* Creating a balance between workers and corporations.
* Ending the H1B and L1 Visa Programs
* Restoring rural communities and family farms.
* Banning hand guns.

Sounds really promising. What do you think about this guy and who so far do you support?

besides banning hand guns, privitization of social security, and gay marriage the dude sounds pretty good. espicially if he wants to stop the war on drugs.

Yeah he's cool. I saw him on Bill Maher's HBO show. His ideas are GREAT...but he's not as popular as he others. Hopefully he can get some recognition.

you guys are dumb for liking him. War on drugs that means weed will not be as good maybe more pricey. if this guy gets elected all of the fucking taxes will fucking skyrocket. FREE COLLEGE tax money. Most of his hopes are piontless.

how will weed potency go down if the war on drugs ends?

SpRi7e · Post by **SpRi7e** » Tue May 01, 2007 12:48 am

if anything the prices will go up because if your still going to buy from a drug dealer then his prices will HAVE to go down or no one will buy from him. Then if you buy from a coffee shop or something they're almost sure to have a good strain and different varieties.

The war on drugs is every drug. Weed wont be legal if this guys becomes president. it would have to go through congress and it would die there.

but he would put more of a step on making it decriminalized (which it would probably end up being) here's some quotes from him

I agree on everything but his border patrol views. And the 2nd one only applies to very specific cases, it can't be used as a general policy
