Ron Paul on Government vs State Law
Ron Paul's Stance from Above Video: Get Government Out of Our Lives and Let The States Decide for Themselves
Extract from Article published here:
Legalize Drugs and Prostitution?
In the interview, we discussed prostitution, drug use and gay marriage. Paul says these are not things that the federal government should try to control.
"I think the government's role should not be involved in personal habits. When you defend freedom, you defend freedom of choice, and you can't be picking and choosing how people use those freedoms . . .whether it's personal behavior or economic behavior, I want people to have freedom of choice," Paul asserted.
He believes the constitution says such issues should be left to the states to decide, and if a state chooses to legalize marijuana, cocaine, heroin and/or prostitution, so be it.
"I would get the government out of regulating all those substances," Paul said. "I think the government's role should not be involved in personal habits. I believe those rules should protect children who are below the age of making good judgments. So, I have no problem with state laws that would protect children from the use of these drugs."
Ron Paul's position on War on Drugs and its accuracy is explained in the Introduction.
