and in no way Counter Culture. Marijuana is legal in 4 States including my own as of July 1st, and while Democrats had many years of strong support of cannabis reform, Republicans did not. Senator Paul has never supported a legalization bill, Democratic Senator Merkley sure has.

Those of you who think Rand Paul is 'Counter Culture' are just so far off base it's amazing to me. I'd suggest learning a few things about the cannabis reform movement prior to rattling of that rhetoric. There are a few Republicans who have done a lot for cannabis reform, Paul is not one of them, nor was his father.
