Medicinal marijuana laws. He supports the rights of states to permit it, and he supports even more the right of the DEA to totally ignore that shit and raid people's houses anyway.

His real beliefs will be tested if Colorado or Washington manages to legalize it this year for all 21 year olds. But judging from all the medicinal pharmacies in Colorado already the FEDS are hardly making a dent on that industry.

The fact that the Feds are smashing down the doors of medical marijuana users AT ALL is absolutely disgusting. The Government clearly doesn't recognise any limitations on its power.

I have very mixed feelings on the war on drugs (due mostly to my personal distaste for stoners), but the feds on medical weed thing really shows more stupidity on the part of the states rather than the federal government. Supremacy Clause plus the Controlled Substances Act = ??? It's much more cut-and-dry than other grey areas...
