Apparently Rubio has changed his mind on illegals too.

Very interesting.

I am a complete non-smoker now, but I support Ted Cruz in this.

Bump.

I agree. State decision. The last time we banned something while adhering to the Constitution, an entire amendment had to be written.

That is a very reasonable opinion. The states should be able to implement this pot just like alcohol...fed should decriminalize it and tax it instead of pouring billions into arrest...court time and incarceration etc...persons that hate alcohol seem to be doing alright with all of us who drink...so why can’t we get along with pot smokers who choose to do this ?...I do not smoke pot ..I do drink and smoke cigarettes...because I AM FREE to do so and will do it as long as it makes me happy...Why ?..because I choose to without asking anyone’s permission.

The ninth and tenth amendment make this pretty noncontroversial to me.

You are in favor of a new federal tax?

Have you been smoking too much of this stuff?

The vote in Colorado was 55/45 for. If one is a conservative candidate, the Tenth Amendment argument is the correct argument. Less government is better government.

Geez. Get a grip. It is called federalism. States rights. Stop feeding the federal hog.

Cruz is right. Pot is a states rights issue as is gay marriage and abortion. If you don’t want it in your state then you say no.

Quite frankly I am not for the federal government deciding anything, or being involved in any decision or anything any longer.

I have had enough.

Ha!

Ain’t that grand? Anyone else espousing the same thoughts (IE: the Pauls) and they’re a Liberal/Libertarian, good-for-nothing, low-IQ...

Cruz comes along and it’s the 2nd coming of Christ. Out come the knee pads.

Guess the low-info, party-line, voter resides in BOTH parties...unfortunately.

The taxes can be voluntary if cultivation for personal use is included in the legalization scheme.

I am glad he did. It should be left up to the states as about 80% of what the fedgov does should be.

Which part of his statement sounds 'liberal' to you?

“I actually think this is a great embodiment of what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis called ‘the laboratories of democracy,’” Cruz said. “If the citizens of Colorado decide they want to go down that road, that’s their prerogative. I personally don’t agree with it, but that’s their right.”

DOPE sounds liberal to me.

Even Colorado’s idiot lib Guv admits it was a mistake.
