Arizona -- Sources close to the campaign of presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex) said that the congressman would probably choose the state of Arizona in which to renew his call for the legalization of industrial hemp
A call to legalize hemp would be attractive to Arizona’s farmers. This stance, combined with anti-war position, might make Ron Paul attractive to a large slice of GOP voters not enamored with many traditional “conservative” positions.
Arizona’s large farming community is said to be in favor of the legalization of an additional cash crop such as hemp. There is a large difference between industrial hemp - which contains little of the active ingredient that gets users “high - and marijuana that is actively cultivated for illegal drug use.
“The differences between Ron Paul and other candidates are gradually emerging,” said one observer of the campaign. “On one side you have modern day conservative-leaders like John McCain and Rudy Giuliani, and on the other a constitutional conservative Ron Paul. Contrasting their positions gives you a good idea of how far the American leadership has strayed from the Constitution.”
According to this observer, “If Ron Paul runs in Arizona on legalizing hemp production, that gives him a leg up over other GOP candidates who would never advocate such a thing.” There is already a formidable anti-war sentiment in Arizona that Ron Paul can capitalize on as well, this observer notes.
