Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr., M.D. Press Questions for Ron Paul

1. Dr. Paul, what is the bravest thing you have ever done?

Taking his oath of office! No, I do not have any one because I believe he is just continuing a process that has been going on for a hundred years of government ever growing. So there is no one thing that he has done other than (in a very general sense) continue the

What is your response to the charges that you are speaking at an “anti semetic” conference?

3. If you could reverse one decision Obama made in office, which would it be and why?

( Being a OBGYN)
4. What is your stand on abortion?
I am against abortion because i believe life begins at conception and abortions end innocent lives.

5. What is your position on legalizing marijuana?

My position on marijuana has not changed for a long time, but the position has always been that it should be legal and there should be no criminal penalties at all for the use of

it. When people do things that may harm themselves, the government should not be involved, therefore I do not believe in any drug laws. If there is going to be any regulation at all, it should be at the state level. The federal government should not be engaging in a war against drugs.

Fortunately, the people are waking up and the states are rebelling, and I think that at some point in the near future there will not be much enforcement of the federal laws against marijuana.

6. What you do different from George W. Bush?

For its one thing to disagree with the majority and buck scientific orthodoxy; it is quite another thing to not comprehend what is even at stake when you make your claims. After all, without understanding what practical difference theories make, one might rush to cut federal research programs by over $10 billion. One might even oppose giving pay raises to schoolteachers, abolish the Department of Education, and legalize the efforts of school boards to incorporate creationism into their biology curricula, or look askance at public education itself. Paul’s views on science are not without consequence. He owes us a defense of

    I believe abortion is wrong when used for dumb reasons. There are many other things you can do to prevent abortion. The reasons why I don't support it. Abortion is murder and life begins at conception, so unborn babies are human beings with a right to life and If women become pregnant, they should accept the responsibility that comes with producing a child. Abortion should not be…

    For comparison, see the history of the constitutional amendment which was required to prohibit alcohol. There is no fundamental reason why an amendment should be required to prohibit one chemical and not another. The trick was to lead the people into believing that the bureaucrats were going to authorized licenses, but never did so, and there was a heavy penalty for not having the license. This heavy penalty required that the enforcing bureaucrats needed more staff and, more power, which, in turn required tougher laws. Over the years, through a series of court rulings, they gradually got the courts to change what had been well-established constitutional law. They got the courts to accept the notion that it really was a tax violation when people got arrested for drugs, and that the fact that the government would not issue any licenses was not a defense. They also got the courts to bypass the old issue of whether the Federal Government had the right to control what an individual puts into their own bodies by creating the fiction that whatever the person puts into their bodies must have come as a result of some form of interstate commerce, which is regulated by the Federal Government in the form of taxes and licenses and, since the Federal Government…

    Are you Pro-Choice or Pro-Life? My position on the subject is Pro-Life. Being able to have an abortion whenever and for whatever reason is wrong. There are many court cases on abortion taking both sides. Roe v. Wade being the biggest of them all taking the side of Pro-Choice. Being Pro-Life you have to look at more than just the one case. Some other cases are Rust v. Sullivan, Mazurek v. Armstrong, and many more go Pro-Life. Understanding that many people believe abortion is okay and anyone should be able to do it makes abortion a hard subject to talk about. Everyone like to put in the opinion on abortion, but how many people look at the facts on abortion? Looking at the facts could change your opinion.…

    The spanish brought marijuana to America in 1545, and by 1611 it became a major commercial crop. However, marijuana didn’t really catch on till the jazz age in the 1920s. It became such the rage that there were clubs specifically for smoking, and since it was not illegal at the time and the people weren’t causing any problems the authorities let them be. From 1860 to 1942 it was even prescribed for various medical uses, but authorities soon began to see it as a “gateway” drug. By 1970 the Controlled Substance Act labeled marijuana as having a high abuse potential and having no medical use. Due to the illegalization of marijuana it began to be smuggled in from Mexico and Colombia, starting the “war on drugs.”In 1982 the Drug Enforcement Administration began to crack down on finding growers in the U.S., and by the 1990’s marijuana was once again in an upward trend of users.…

    As of December 1, 2013 twenty-one states have decriminalized marijuana possession, with seven states allowing legal medical use of the drug and two states allowing legal use of the drug without medical necessity. Cannabis remains on the federal drug schedule today as a Schedule I substance since 1970, with our society constantly evolving should these laws not as well? In 2013, a survey conducted by Pew Research Center demonstrated that 52% of American citizens support the total legalization of cannabis. The legalization of marijuana would not only decrease crime…

    There is, however, choice in that. The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 outlawed the use of Cannabis, even for medical use. The drug was put into the same category as heroin. However marijuana is deemed legal in many states, even though it has been deemed illegal by federal government which should be the supreme law of the land. Even though recent presidents have know that this law was in place they have not acted to try to restrict states from legalizing the drug.…

    Marijuana advocates scored major victories at the voting block during the November elections. Voters approved ballot measures in Colorado and Washington that reversed federal law to legalize the drug’s recreational use. The victories could be short lived as the federal government ponders its response, but there has been a notable change in public sentiment on the subject. It is now conceivable that marijuana could be legalized throughout more of the country as 22 states are currently considering legislation to either legalize consumption and sale of marijuana or decriminalize minor possession offenses.…

    Legalization of marijuana is highly heated and controversial issue that we have in this world today. Data shows that fifty five percent of American believe that marijuana should continue to be illegal, while forty five percent of American believe that marijuana should be legal in the United States. When marijuana is legal, two million to ten million dollars of tax payer’s money on law enforcement would be saved. Legalization of marijuana would reduce amount of terrorism and corruption that we have in the world today. The legalization of Marijuana is a highly heated and controversial issue in America today. Data shows that over 55% of Americans believe marijuana should continue to be illegal and the remaining 45% believe the pot‘s legal status should be altered. But why? Prohibitionist policies based on eradication, interdiction and criminalization of consumption of the drug simply haven’t worked. It has simply just places a burden on tax payer’s money and has been a wasteful usage of police enforcement. The prohibition of weed is also a direct infringement of our personal liberties, President Abraham Lincoln once stated that, “…Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes…” Marijuana prohibition laws strikes a fatal blow at the very ideologies and principles of freedom upon which our republic was founded and to the very civil liberties which government was set up to defend.…
