During a town hall meeting in Tuscon, McCain said that the ?will of the people? led to his openness of legalization.
?Maybe we should legalize,? McCain said. ?We?re certainly moving that way as far as marijuana is concerned.?
Meghan McCain, his daughter, has also come out in favor of legalizing marijuana. In June of 2012, she announced her support and admitted to having used it before.
?I'm for legalization of marijuana," she said. "I think Arizonans have the right to decide what they want to do in this state and they don't have to have the federal government's permission.?
According to a Pew Research Center poll published in April, the majority of Americans support legalizing marijuana for the first time in 40 years. Support has dramatically increased since 2010, with an 11 percent rise.
Additionally, 72 percent of Americans believe government efforts to enforce marijuana laws cost more than they?re worth.
Senator McCain should start smoking it and maybe he'll lose that overwhelming desire he's got to have wars everywhere all the time.
Best plan I heard all morning...heck all ! You have a "force multiplier effect" if you threw some Doobie Brothers on.
Your country, and particularly your conservative movement, is a light and an inspiration to people in this country and across the world.
Maybe Steve will take a cue from his idols before 2015.

I think McCain's strictly a "Cover Of The Rolling Stone" kind of guy when he's loaded. Probably listens obsessively to it over and over and over again.
Its interesting though that in the U.S. it seems like there is greater support for legalization among republicans because they see the wastefulness of enforcement.
Don't fall for any of that pseudo-libertarian nonsense from them. They're not anywhere as near interested in legalization or decrim as much as they are destroying the power of the federal government in the US. McCain might not be like this but most of the TeaBirchers and other post-Obama conservatives are pushing for states-rights nonsense. They're all social conservatives too, so if the US government was taken out of the equation you'd likely have something like 30 or 40 Wars On Drugs being waged by GOP-run statehouses and governors offices more than you'd ever see any legalization ever occurring.

It's probably tough to be a tough-on-drugs republican when your daughter is campaigning for legalization too.
I'm getting a fancy sig too..

McCain's been on drugs for a long time now. I wish that puke would hurry up and retire or else just come out as a Democrat since he always likes to campaign for them anyway.

There's quite a few republicans supporting Legalization now.
Here in Canada, our conservatives are attempting the 80's style war-on-drugs giving the illusion of being tough on crime.
No matter how many times you say that, it doesn't make it any less of a lie.

62% of in Canada support legalization or decriminalization. Who was asking them for mandatory minimums for non-violent drug offences?
Corrections Canada to make budget cuts as prison population grows
Canada’s federal prison population has been on the rise since 2006 and is now growing faster, annually, than the crime rate is dropping. And as federal institutions feel the effects of new tough-on-crime legislation, both the people working in those prisons and those speaking for prisoners are leery of where these cuts will take place.
...
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is quick to point out Ottawa has put more than $630-million toward 30 projects across Canada to create 2,700 new cells over the next couple of years. But Corrections Canada could not tell The Globe and Mail where the cash to staff them and care for their residents will come from.
It costs about $312 a day, or $113,880 a year, to house an inmate in prison. The prison population grew by about 1,000 people, or 7 per cent, between April, 2011, and May, 2012.
It seems silly to pay that to incarcerate someone for growing plants that will be grown whether or not there is prohibition. End prohibition, regulate it and get rid of the profit motive. Use the tax revenue to put real criminals in jail for $312 a day.

without question, the only thing in your posts worth looking at.
