What can bring elected officials together from across the aisle in this hyper partisan age? Well, at the state level, it often seems to be same-sex marriage, though even this exception only cuts slightly into the homogeneous Republican camp. At the federal level? Enter Mary Jane.
That's right. Democrat Barney Frank and Republican Ron Paul of Texas are working together to end federal prohibition of marijuana and to allow states to regulate the plant as they see fit. Frank of course hails from a state which has already decriminalized marijuana, and Ron Paul is perhaps the day's most outspoken libertarian. In that regard, this alliance would seem to make sense.
