The idea of rolling back drug laws to where they were before 1937 shouldn't be seen as all that radical. Don't we want to see a great many laws rolled back? The enactment of those laws was a radical thing. I don't think your local drugstore would start selling dope, I think the hard drugs would be dispensed like methadone is in clinics. When we look at what liberties and rights have been lost because of this "war", it seems insane to continue down this path. I think the party is putting more emphasis on the drug war this time because in 96 they decided to downplay their position on legalization, and they only managed to get one half of 1% of the vote. Nothing to lose by trying something different! Like any other party, the platform reflects the purist position. There are groups like the Republican Liberty Caucus and Libertarians for Life where you may find some like minded people.
