One thing I agree with Rand Paul about (or should I call him Aqua Buddha?) is that any lawmaker who has ever smoked pot should not allow anyone to go to prison for smoking pot unless they honestly and sincerely believe that they should have gone to prison, too. This isn’t far-fetched. Many of you have driven when you were too intoxicated to safely drive. If you’re honest, you agree that you should have been arrested. You know that you deserved to lose your license. You know what you did was clearly wrong and that it endangered other people. And so you can support strong laws against drunk driving without being a hypocrite. It’s the same with pot. If you sincerely think that it’s a crime against society to smoke pot, then go ahead and support strong laws against smoking pot. But it you don’t think you did anything that warranted a strong penalty, work to change the law. If you don’t, you are a hypocrite.
