AZCentral.comSenator John McCain apparently told a town hall
in Tucson, Arizona that “maybe” marijuana ought to be legalized,
saying he respects “the will of the people,”
according to a tweet from an Arizona Daily Star
columnist at the town hall. McCain
didn’t take the same tone on Syria in that town hall and
another in Phoenix, where he was faced by constituents largely
opposed to intervention in Syria.

McCain has
insisted Obama would be impeached if he put boots on the ground
in Syria but hecklers in Phoenix told him his promise not to have a
“single American boot on the ground” was “not good enough.” McCain,
however, also
initially opposed the Syria resolution in the Senate because it
proposed only “limited” military action. He switched after a
meeting with Obama where he pushed for more support to Syrian
rebels. The US is now considering
training them.

McCain may think the American people won’t tolerate marijuana
prohibition much longer, but he doesn’t seem to know, or care, that
they may not tolerate war in Syria either, as Reason TV talked
about with the Cato Institute’s executive director, David Boaz,
