Longtime supporter of marijuana reform, Representative Barney Frank, recently told CNN that he supports marijuana reform and believes in “personal freedom”.  When talking to Erin Burnett about individual freedom, Congressman Frank said  “I think is a great hypocrisy.  I think frankly it contributes to a good deal of the sense of unfairness you have among younger people who are told they shouldn’t do this because it’s got all these negative effects, but then older people are engaging in all kinds of things that have a greater impact on people.”  Mr. Frank also said he ate a marijuana brownie that made him “sleepy”.  The congressman said he prefers a cigar instead.  While he does  not smoke marijuana much or gamble, but that others do and it is their right to do so and it should not be the government’s priority to regulate these behaviors.  Barney Frank is also an outspoken supporter of same sex marriage and was wed to his partner, James Ready, in July of 2012.
