You wanna get rid of drug crime in this country? Fine, let's just get rid of all the drug laws.

The federal government overrules state laws where state laws permit medicinal marijuana for people dying of cancer. The federal government goes in and arrests these people, put them in prison with mandatory, sometimes life sentences. This war on drugs is totally out of control.

We have a lot of goodness in this country. And we should promote it, but never through the barrel of a gun.

I'm not against the FBI investigation in doing a proper role, but I'm against the FBI spying on people like Martin Luther King. I'm against the CIA fighting secret wars and overthrowing government.
