More Conservatives Support Marijuana Reform

Sen. Rand Paul

Despite what some may think, marijuana reform is not a rallying cry for simply one side of the political spectrum.

In response to a comment from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on “Fox News Sunday” that marijuana use wasn’t worth throwing people in jail for, Bryan Fischer, the director of issues analysis for the socially conservative American Family Association, tweeted: “Sen. Paul doesn’t want [to] send folks to jail for marijuana beef. Fine. Make ‘em pay a fine, like we do for speeding tickets.”

TV evangelist Pat Robertson has also spoken in favor of marijuana reform, publically endorsing ballot initiatives in Colorado and Washington state.
