Taking a $70B cut out of the deficit should interest the Teaparty. If only the potheads could get organized.
Remember that hemp could also generate a lot of small business opportunities and tax revenues vis a vis hemp oil, clothing, biomass, biofuels, plastics, etc.
The Tea Party and the Drug War
by Jeffrey A. Miron
Voter dissatisfaction with Republicans and Democrats is at historic levels, and the tea-party movement is hoping to play kingmaker in the November elections. The country's current breed of discontent is ideal for the tea parties, because economic concerns are foremost, allowing the movement to sidestep the divisions between its libertarian and conservative wings.
If the party is true to its principles — fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets — it must side with the libertarians.
