I have been reading and listening to Dr. Paul for years. Dr. Paul has stated that when he answers questions, like the pot issue, he is addressing the issue from a jurisdictional poit of view; at the Federal level, and not at the State level.
Dr. Paul position on pot, whether commercial (bird feed, hemp fiber, medicinal) or recreational, is that the Federal government has no Constitutional authority to ban it. The Feds could regulate the INTERSTATE commerce but not INTRASTATE. And regulation is not the same as prohibition. Remember, alcohol prohibition required an amendment.
