The Pro-Cannabis Freedom Plank

As the next part of my series exploring a winning political platform for the next two elections, here is my Pro-Cannibis Freedom plank:

Return control over cannabis possession, growing, sales, and use to the states. Keep importation illegal, and continue to use the DEA to stop cannabis from coming in, but let each state decide how to handle this drug. In addition, immediately convert federal prison sentences for cannabis-related crimes other than importation to parole.

There are several goals here: Move back toward the original interpretation of the Commerce Clause, reduce prison expenses, refocus anti-drug activities to more serious drugs, and try not to enrich drug lords.
