Are you setting up a double standard? Smoking pot has no negative effects on your life but dealing drugs is taking things too far? Unless you are growing your own, you need to buy from someone. It is a crying shame that selling pot isn't legal. The Gov could make a lot of tax revenue on it and people wouldn't have their lives ruined for just trying to get by when "legit" prospects are weak.
http://marijuana-arrests.com/scandals-nypd.html and their was a great article on Saturday NY times about how the police keep sending people to jail because they have a small bag in there pocket which is legal in NY, then police search pot is in view and person is arrested, BS so many people get record this is so stupid.

Scotty. Not sure where you're getting your info, but pot is illegal in New York State. And, Cuomo's decrim bill was axed by the republican's in the state legislature.

It wad decriminalizing in the 1970s, it only suppose to be a fin for less then 28 grams, what the govenor wanted was to make what is happenings in Nyc change because of all the people going to jail, many sources including this saturday ny times had an excellent article about it, and even my cousin who has been a police officer confirmed this and he hates pot. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/05/opinion/no-crime-real-punishment.html?_r=1

Ron Paul is for legalization of all drugs.

That's not exactly true. He doesn't believe the federal government has the authority to keep drugs illegal. He would like to see those laws come to an end, and the power to enact drug-contraband laws to be executed by the states (10th amendment). He also believes it's your body and only you (not the government) can tell you what to do with it.

I agree with him on his policies.
