\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to the phones to Artesia, New Mexico. This is Korie. Great to have you with us. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How\u2019s it going, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m fine. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, I was about to say first off that I just started listening to your show earlier this year, actually two months ago.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m happy to say, “I have no idea what the hell I was listening to before.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Well, it\u2019s great to have you here now.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm-hmm. Back to the reason why I\u2019m here. Yesterday I tuned into<\/a> that little fellow from, I believe, Colorado. He\u2019s a self-proclaimed libertarian.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah. Marijuana. He wanted to legalize it.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, he was pro-marijuana. I gotta say that I kind of came to the conclusion that a libertarian is about a hair away from a complete, full-fledged Democrat —<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: — mostly because it seems that their intentions are what matters, not the means or the results. They\u2019re almost oblivious to the reality of things, wouldn\u2019t you say?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve heard libertarians characterized as “just a hair away from being a complete, full-fledged Democrat.” I understand what you\u2019re saying. Your point is that he was being misleading and disingenuous, that you believe — I think, probably — that he and a lot of proponents of medical marijuana are just a bunch of stoners and they want it legalized for recreational purposes.<\/p>\n

But they get to hide behind this “medical use” business, which legitimizes their pursuit, and that way they don\u2019t have to be portrayed as Jeff Spicoli stoners and stuff. I think a lot of people think that about medical marijuana. It was on the ballot here in Florida. I went there and at the ballot box said, “Hmm, medical marijuana? Hmm, hmm. How should I vote on this?”<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t matter. My vote didn\u2019t matter because it went down to defeat. It needs 60% for ballot initiatives to pass in Florida. It got 57%. It was close. So I know that here in Florida there were a bunch of just distressed stoners last night. (interruption) Washington, DC, passed recreational marijuana. Yeah. That\u2019s on the rise. That\u2019s coming. That\u2019s going to happen. You can see the trend line. It\u2019s occurring. It\u2019s gonna in more and more states. Just mark my words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
