Video: Ron Paul VS Stephen Baldwin on Cannabis Legalization

In his blog on nj.com, Paul Mulshine discusses a Larry King Live video of Ron Paul debating Stephen Baldwin on marijuana legalization. Debating may be the wrong term, perhaps annihilating or humiliating would be more appropriate. This is an old (2009) video, but one definitely worthy of any Weedist’s collection:
