Ron Paul vs Actor Stephen Baldwin On Marijuana Legalization in the U.S. - Conspiracy Reality TV

I think we’re getting carried away with the whole war on drugs that’s how silly the whole thing gets. Drugs are very dangerous, but there’s a lot of things that are very dangerous. The question is who should regulate danger? Should we assume responsibility for ourselves or should the government take care of us. And I don’t believe in the nanny state. If you do have regulations and laws they should be at the state level not at the federal level. We didn’t even have a federal law until 1937 and here we are – we have spent hundreds of billions of dollars in a very unsuccessful attempt to regulate drugs, and you have all these weird examples. That’s one example you mentioned. But what about a sick person dying with cancer goes out and uses marijuana, when it is legalized in that particular state like California, and the Feds come in and arrest them. I mean there’s so much violation there of common decency and the Constitution and it makes no sense. The drug war is a total failure and the federal drug war should be revisited and for the most part gotten rid of.

…nobody talks about nicotine being a gateway drug, so there’s no sense to that. And besides it’s not nearly as addictive as alcohol. So if you’re a consistent person and you think the government should be regulating personal behavior you have to be for prohibition of alcohol. And when you look back and throughout history and what happened to that, it was a total disaster. It created the Al Capones. And right now today there is so much violence today, not because people use drugs, but because they’re illegal. You know the people who benefit the most by all these laws – these are the drug cartels. They lobby to keep these laws in place because they cannot exist without them. you don’t have the Al Capones now because you don’t have prohibition of alcohol. Prohibition is what is bad. And this does not mean we endorse personal behavior that is not beneficial, it just means who regulates personal behavior?
