Of course, the War on Drugs is a very effective tool of tyranny to be used against the American people. It empowers the DEA and the federal government to conduct surprise searches of any home or business for any reason whatsoever (even without a warrant), it keeps the prison industry overflowing with endless cheap human labor, and it grants the big drug companies a monopoly over all those recreational drugs that are now sold as pharmaceuticals. “Speed,” for example, is now sold as an ADHD treatment for children. Big Pharma is also going after THC chemicals in marijuana and hopes to sell them as prescription drugs. By keeping the War on Drugs in place, Big Pharma is assured a monopoly that even the drug lords haven’t been able to accomplish.

No, the only way this bill hurts his campaign, is if it is blown out of proportion, misread, misreported, and people believe all the 10 second sound bites and 10 word tickers instead of actually knowing what the bill is about and what Ron Paul is about.
On second thought, people only listen to 10 second soundbites and 10 word tickers, so we are doomed no matter how good the politician or the bill is.

Ron Pauls stance on turning so much over to the States is gonna sink him so quick if he get's anywhere near getting the nomination. Legal in one state but illegal in another. Ron Paul will wash his hands of it and create a huge legal nightmare. Pushing Ron Paul for President is the same as voting for Obama.
So yes this will hurt his chances and will a multitude of other things. He is not a legitimate candidate as he's too far out there.

If he is so far out there, how has he managed to stay in congress so long? I would say you are far out there because you have no concern with what i right or wrong, you just toe the line. Guess where that line is... WAY THE HELL OUT THERE!!!

What if say Texas wanted to bring back slavery? You'd hope they'd make the right decision but past history shows that States are not always capable of doing that yet Ron Paul would let them. What if some state wanted to bring back Jim Crowe laws? Once again Ron Paul would allow it.
