Look, you won't find anyone more liberal on drug laws than I am. I think all drugs should be legalized, for adults. But throwing my vote away over that? No fucking way.

To this very day, no one has conducted a survey that asks "Does the candidates position about medical marijuana sway your vote?" So while the question goes unasked and unanswered, no one has any idea what percentage of the US voter is swayed. Well, we know something about the answer to that question, because we would see a whole lot more support for Gary Johnson and other independent candidates if there were huge numbers of people who are voting based on this issue. And I simply cannot characterize Obama as evil. You're looking at him as a guy who is or wants to send SWAT teams to your house to bust you for smoking pot. He hasn't done that, and doesn't want to.
