I doubt if a real Democrat could sneak into a Republican Party … but, if one did, he would have probably taken your Pepsi can off to be recycled. ---

At least, their “intentions” were good. ☹ pssst… It’s the Republicans who are big on punishing drug use with prison time. We Dems tend to prefer rehabilitation, or even legalization. ---

Living near the People’s Republic of Berkeley like I do, I sometimes forget that politics around here are farther left than most other parts of the country. I did however track down Congressman Barney Frank from Massachusetts: “We make a mistake, with the serious law enforcement problems we have today, to get the police to arrest people who smoke marijuana… We are wasting $10 billion a year trying to physically interdict drugs.” [(from here, an anti-legalization site)](http://www.sarnia.com/groups/antidrug/argument/myths.html) And there’s also a group you may have heard of called the [ACLU.](http://www.aclu.org/DrugPolicy/DrugPolicyMain.cfm) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-fellow-sdmb-republicans-it-is-time-once-again-for-the-republican-happy-dance/272684.md?page=13)
