Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says he supports the decriminalization and legalization of certain hard drugs as a way to fight the fentanyl crisis.
Customs and Border Protection agents in Detroit, Michigan, seized 2,175 pounds of marijuana on May 11 from boxes that were disguised as foam pool toys.during an appearance on the Liberty Lockdown podcast in July, saying that rather than being"a war on drugs guy," he was"actually a path to legalization guy for a lot of different drugs, and a path to reasonable decriminalization.
In the conversation, Ramaswamy noted his distinguishing of fentanyl from other illicit drugs, describing it as a poison people unknowingly take with their drug of intention. "Many veterans are dying of fentanyl. I think fewer would be dying if there was access to ayahuasca, if there was access, legal access, to psychedelics more broadly. We can talk about, we can have a reasonable conversation about ketamine and others. So, I'm in that direction," he said."We got to catch up with the times. It's not a popular position in the Republican Party, but I'd just, again, I guess I’m going to speak the truth.
