So, apparently he was in favor of the abolition of laws against heroine, cocaine, meth, LSD, etc. use? And he was also in favor of the abolition of laws dealing with (unspecified) sexual behavior? That can include all sorts of behavior that I won't even get into here.

Has he evolved on these issues since 1972?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
