MacGyver,
Yes the USMJP endorses this policy as does the ALMJP and the Alabama Libertarian Party.
The Libertarians favor a non-interventionist policy in foreign affairs and only going to war when America is attacked (preferably with the people who actually attacked us...which is not the case with Iraq)
As a candidate for Governor of Alabama I have positions on many other issues that have nothing to do with drug policy reform. Being anti-war in this case is one of those positions.
The Iraq War and the Drug War are very much related. Both are illegal for one thing. The majority of people who suffer under both are poor people.
Another thing is we have soldiers who tested positive for marijuana before they were deployed to Iraq and after the served their tour of duty they returned home where they were prosecuted for dirty urine.
In Israel they have allowed for the use of cannabis for Israeli soldiers because it is very helpful in dealing with PTSD....but here in the good ole US of A we are trying to send our soldiers to jail, take their benefits and disgrace their names for doing the same thiing.
So to me these wars are very closely related and to not speak out against the Iraq War is just as good as endorsing it.
