An exercise in Liberty brought to you by the Taliban?

I wonder if he would also be fine with, say, Hugo Chavez dumping cyanide onto our streets?

Ha ha! Yah, right!

Go search and find the last time the U.S. military burned an opium field in Afganistan.

If you studied your history, you'd know that the Taliban forbade the growing of opium. By 2001, they had nearly wiped out all Afghan opium production.

Since we've been in Afghanistan, opium production has skyrocketed with 93% of the world's opium coming from Afghanistan, all guarded by the U.S. military.

Well, there's nothing specific in the Constitution that says he can't. ;-)

The Taliban’s poppies, just like the Columbian commies’ coke, already wind up on our streets. The drug war has proven to be counterproductive to stopping that, it only makes the street value go up if they have any success, which makes the incentive to ship it here even greater.

Maybe if it was legalized, some Americans could grow the stuff and eliminate the need for these unscrupulous foreign suppliers. Just like, after prohibition was ended, the mob got out of the alcohol business.

This FAKE buzz created by Luntz and FOX as to how Herman Cain won the debate should serve notice that Cain cannot be trusted.This heroin question was a GOTCHA question for a states rights libertarian and Paul unfortunately fell for it. Paul's strongest talking points are best on the economy and foreign policy but FOX wanted to WASTE his time with questions on gays and drugs. I like Paul and this is not the focus of his campaign. It's too bad. He will learn from this.
