You just wooshed my comment, hard. I'm not saying it's not a real issue, I'm saying he'd have to be an idiot to address it. It's a no-win situation for him: either piss of the young voters he's trying to court, or piss off the swing voters he needs to court. There is simply nothing for him to gain by addressing marijuana legalization.
Ron Paul doesn't suffer from this problem. He's not trying (or able) to win the White House; he's trying to bring issues to the forefront of the public consciousness and raise awareness of libertarian positions. Ron Paul can afford to address the issues that would lose real candidates elections, as he's not about to win any elections outside of his House seat.

No, he's trying to make money from campaign donations. He always succeeds.
