    Maine Congressional Candidate says “tax and regulate” marijuana

    PORTLAND, Maine (AP) The Republican who’s running against Democratic Maine Rep. Mike Michaud says legalizing marijuana makes sense.

    Republican John Frary a guest on a live call-in radio show on Maine’s public radio station when a caller named “Charlie” asked the congressional candidate if he favored “legalizing Maine’s #1 cash crop.”  Frary responded:

    A representative for Democrat Mike Michaud disagrees and offers the “What about the children?” excuse.  Really.

    I’ve told drug reformers for years that when marijuana gets taxed and regulated, it will be Republicans leading the charge.  Something that makes money and punishes marijuana users (they see taxes as punishment) is a natural Republican goal.  Also, at least where I’m from, the West, lots of Republicans are very libertarian and believe government shouldn’t be involved in people’s personal business.

    I will be very happy to see the Democrats prove me wrong.
