If you disagree, you are a smart woman I'm confident you could make a case other wise, i don't see how it warrants a delete.

Please don't use this site to blatantly shill for him  

I'm sorry i have been very honest who i support.  Clearly that is different from who you support, but I don't see how me having a different opinion is grounds for you to ask me to stop commenting. My understanding is that is what comment sections are for.

Guess what your readers are not going to agree with you on every thing you write, i have been consistent on the one issue i disagree with you on.

not to mention that when you buy cocaine you are putting money in the hands of murderous drug lords in South America.

yeah because all marijuana is produced by free loving hippies, none of it comes from drug lords in south America.

Just imagine if a candidate had admitted doing heroin. Do you think there is any chance in hell that person could become President? No way!
Pot is ok. Coke? Maybe. Maybe not.

Herion and cocaine are not the same, and you have to remember when Obama was a teenager people didn't think cocaine was that bad.  What is the point of this anyhow, you aren't allowed to have ever made a true mistake in your life.  Smoking pot is a pseudo mistake, so it's ok, but if it was a real mistake you are banned from public office?

And perhaps you forgotten that George W. Bush was a serious coke head probably at the same time he was flying jet fighters for the National Guard.  Cocaine and flying, I can tell you that is the only way to fly.  :-)

And as to your comments about cocaine supporting drug lords, perhaps so, but more importantly it supports hundreds of thousands of subsistence farmers all across Bolivia and Columbia, people who can't feed their children on the pittance they receive for growing coffee, coffee that people pay top dollar for at Starbucks and in their local supermarkets, but you think any of those profits make it to those farmers, they don't.  

It's too bad for those farmers that cocaine isn't legal, or at least cocoa leaves in their raw form, because their lives would be a whole lot better if they can trade freely, the way farmers here do with that deadly poison and proven killer known as tobacco.  

Same goes for the people of Afghanistan, who could be selling their raw opium on the legitimate market as low-cost pain medication for people around the world who are suffering with cancer, AIDS and all manner of horrifically painful maladies that they have no relief from today. Instead we have huge pharmaceutical companies making enormous profits selling oxycodone and hydrocodone (synthetic opiates) which are just as addictive as opium pain medication, as we now know through the research.  More huge lies propagated by the drug companies and our burgeoning health-care industrial complex.

I don't agree with Ron Paul on many things, but he's dead right about the drug war, it's the biggest lie going.  I'm not particularly for legalizing dangerous things like cocaine or heroin, but I wouldn't have a problem legalizing cocoa leaf or raw opium for sale just like cigarettes and alcohol.  At the very least we should decriminalize this stuff, and the whole drug war nightmare would end overnight.

Back in the 80s I watched people get rich, and I'm talking about serious wealth creation, bringing drugs in to Florida from the islands, and it was all done by white collar businessman with standing in the community, people who today own car dealerships, real estate companies, construction companies, brokerage houses etc., pillars of the community who you would never suspect were once drug runners.  They figured out how to do it efficiently, the way professional capitalists do everything.

  Interesting that much of that wealth which was responsible for a significant amount of growth across southern Florida, originated from such people running their Fishing Boats over to the Bahamas two to four times a year, and all they had to worry about after that was their taxes.  You wouldn't believe the people who were in that business.  If the whole truth were to ever come out, there would be a whole lot of politicians, wealthy businessmen and entrepreneurs in America who would find themselves disgraced and in prison, in very short order.

Trust me, no one wants to start casting those stones around, especially the Republicans.
