I'm not sure who's position here is more cockeyed--Ron Paul's or the person that wrote this article.

Ron Paul's position is that drugs should be legal but that government shouldn't pay for rehab. You'd have to actually *be on drugs* to think that scenario will ever happen.

The article's author says that he favors legalizing drugs, but he recognizes that drug-use causes serious impairments in executive functions.

Alcohol use causes serious impairments in executive functions; is it cockeyed to support the legality of that drug?

So do you support national marijuana prohibition by fedgov, which depends on the New Deal view of the Commerce Clause; or should that be left to the states to decide under authority of the Tenth Amendment?
