A would-be Republican presidential nominee has changed his mind on marijuana. Sen. Ted Cruz said he supports Colorado’s state rights to keep marijuana legalized without federal interference during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity at Thursday’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

“I actually think this is a great embodiment of what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis called ‘the laboratories of democracy,’” Cruz said. “If the citizens of Colorado decide they want to go down that road, that’s their prerogative. I personally don’t agree with it, but that’s their right.”

Cruz’s comments at CPAC bring him in line with a number of prominent Republican presidential candidates, including former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Rand Paul, who have all said they believe the federal government should not interfere in states where marijuana has been legalized.

“I actually think this is a great embodiment of what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis called ‘the laboratories of democracy,’” Cruz said.

And what if the chemicals from that laboratory start polluting and poisoning other states? What then, Mr. Cruz?

This doesn't say much for a Presidential candidate who is ignorant of the facts surrounding Prohibition. That, prior to Prohibition, alcohol legalization was up to each state and that half the states banned alcohol. Which didn't work because "wet" states smuggled booze to the "dry" states. Which led to nationwide Prohibition.

If Mr. Cruz supports legalized marijuana at the state level, then how about deciding abortion at the state level? Immigration? Civil rights/affirmative action/racial preferences/hate speech? Gun rights? Religious liberty? Porn censorship? Marriage laws? Sodomy laws?

Why just marijuana, Mr. Cruz?

Then people stupid enough to suck smoke into their lungs will start DYING from diseases. Mother Nature always polices behaviors that are unhealthy.

People need the rope to hang themselves. It's the only way survival of the fittest will continue to work.

Cigarettes are an excellent example, they are killing people stupid enough to smoke by the millions. Unfortunately, they spawn a few times before their self inflicted demise.

White, you are fighting a losing battle.

Vaping the THC is the trendy smoke-free way to smoke da ganja.

Yeah, there are better ways to get THC in the blood than through the lungs... but as we both know, the majority of pot smokers have the IQ of a box of glass pipes.

Isn't that the whole point? Alcohol too.

I agree.

In my 20, I had the privledge to have arrested the same person for 2 or 3 DWI's... and then find that same person dead in an alcohol related crash. It's happened more than once.

If we as a species are too sympathetic and weak to deal with stupidity... Mother Nature will take care of it. It's a shame tho, we could be so more efficient than Mother Nature.
