Gary still has a support base with young people Ive talked to.
Same with some middle-agers I know. And the #1 reason is a 3-letter word: P-O-T. I'm pro-pot (and I've never done pot, other drugs, or even been drunk). But there's tons more to being a true libertarian than just pot. For instance, if we get rid of welfare others might come on board with letting folks dope themselves up legally.
