Opinion: GOP Should Become the Pot Party

Writes Tea Party activist from Kentucky

The late Gatewood Galbraith's ardent advocacy of marijuana and hemp was easy to lampoon, but the endurance of his message can revolutionize American politics for those who now embrace it. In short, the Republican Party should seek to become the party of cannabis.

Most opinions about repairing the Republican Party now focus on tweaking messaging or more aggressively courting various demographic groups. This approach reflects the current disconnect between much of the political class and the people.

Well, I don't know if I'd call it the "Pot Party". But if the GOP wants to become a real Constitutional Conservative political party it should dump its big-governement neo-con platform and leave issues like marijuana and same-sex marriage to the individual states.
