Libertarian Challenger
- Do you think we are winning the War on
Drugs?
No, we
should move toward legalization of drugs to eliminate
the black market and its associated violence.
- Do you support legislation to allow
patients under a doctor's supervision to use marijuana
for medical conditions?
Yes.
- Do you favor a legal distinction
between marijuana and hard drugs?
Yes.
- What is your position on the use of
alcohol and tobacco?
I am opposed
to the exclusion of alcohol and tobacco from the
federal Conrolled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. §§ 801
et seq. Whatever criteria we use for setting alcohol
and tobacco policy should be the same criteria we use
for setting marijuana, cocaine and heroin policy.
Alcohol is just as dangerous as cocaine and heroin,
and far more dangerous than marijuana. In terms of
toxicity, alcohol and tobacco are both more dangerous
than marijuana.
- Do you think Congress should establish
a blue-ribbon commission to evaluate national drug
policy?
Yes.
- Are you interested in participating in
the discussion and development of drug policy?
Yes.
