According to http://www.JohnsonForAmerica.com, Gary Johnson was known for:

* Vetoing 750 bills (more than all the vetoes of the other 49 Governors combined).
* Reducing taxes $123 million annually.
* Cutting the rate of government growth in half.
* Eliminating the state’s budget deficit.
* Leaving the state government with 1200 fewer employees (without firing anyone).
* Leaving the state government with all-time high bond ratings.
* Enacting major welfare reform, which cut government welfare spending by 30%.
* Shifting state Medicaid to managed care.
* Bringing the New Mexico state government and the Navajo nation leadership together to finally resolve century-old disputes over water, gaming, and other issues.
* Privatizing half of the prisons in the state.
* Shooting down campaign finance legislation.
* Attracting many new private and parochial schools into the state.
* Repealing the Little Davis-Bacon Act, thereby allowing non-unionized labor the ability to be employed in construction of new schools and other public works.
* Overseeing the construction of 500 miles of new, four-lane highway (designed, financed, built, and guaranteed by the private sector).
* Running 100% positive campaigns, never mentioning his opponents once in print or ads.
* Coming from outside of politics with no political machine behind him to beat a former Republican Governor in the Republican primaries and then unseat an incumbent Democrat Governor in the general election by a 10 point victory margin, even at a time when Democrats outnumbered Republicans 2-1 in the state.

Gary will want to smoke marijuana again when he is older and in need of pain control.
I know that the title of this article is meant to mock this stand against the insanity on the War on Drugs. You insult and do a disservice to the fast approaching majority of New Mexicans that advocate legalization of marijuana as well as harm reduction policies for other drugs.
The War on Drugs have only served to grow an immorally prolific prison industry and done nothing to help people to control addition. The Endless War on Drugs has served as an excuse to roll back civil liberties such as unconstitutional search and seizure, suspension of privacy rights and the right to not testify against oneself and others against one's will. As such it has distorted our justice system and has created great corruption and misery.
It is time for a new paradigm because we can no longer afford the status quo on this very, very serious issue.
I do not appreciate the mocking tone of the title of this article, not one bit, when this important issue concerns mitigating great human suffering. Shame.

The time for Legalization of Marijuana is WAY overdue. No more politicians with ignorant views on this subject should be elected into office.
