Americans Divided Over Legalizing, Taxing Marijuana


Could this be an issue that the free market, deficit-obsessed, tea party right, and the hippy, environment-loving left could agree on?

Also, here's Ron Paul on hemp, the non-drug, industrial form of marijuana that can be used to make paper, rope, ethanol, and many other industrial products. It is currently outlawed in the US even though it cannot be used by people as a drug.

Oregon voters will definitely be considering it in 2012, and California voters are likely to do the same. Last year's vote in California fell short, but in a Presidential election year, the youth vote will be much higher, no pun intended.
