McCain spent time in Vietnam. He is no stranger to cannabis. He knows the score.

Meh.

We need all the support we can get. I'll take even tepid support rather than opposition.

We don't need to conflate the issues, either.

I think you are selling this statement short -- and by a LOT.

This man is a sitting Senator. He remains an important member of the Republican caucus and is, to my knowledge, the only nominee for President of a major party to express even tepid support for legalization. Ever. In the 80s or 90s - that sort of comment would have been utterly sensational to make.

I think it's a sign of the times and as the link in my sig notes below, it's all moving in the right and inevitable direction and John McCain can read the polling trends and the demographics and sees it too. That means that most of his other colleagues in the US Senate ALSO know which way the demographic train is headed and they know it's only a matter of time. And THAT is excellent.

As for attacking a politician in a democracy for merely "going with the tide" of public opinion -- that's a lil nutty. If politicians in Washington actually LISTENED to the majority opinion in America, the country would be in a far better state than it is now.

If legalization was an on again, off-again weather vane swaying in the wind -- or a cyclical tide that ebbs and flows, I might care more about a politician's personal preferences. But when the trend is generational, inevitable and moves in one direction only? I am perfectly satisfied with a politician whose opinion is "based on the tide of public opinion" when it comes to legalization.

And you should be happy with that, too.
