Program
While serving as governor, Johnson unsuccessfully pushed for cannabis reform. He predicted that cannabis will be legalized by 2016.[1]
Johnson has asked voters to "be libertarian with me for one election", noting that if he implements libertarian policies and the people find they don't like the results, they will be free to vote tyranny back into power in the next election. The U.S. Republican Party has challenged Johnson's attempts to obtain ballot access, and apparently hired a private detective who was later accused of appearing at homes of paid canvassers and flashing an FBI badge from his former days as an FBI agent.[2]
