Pat Robertson, Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says marijuana should be legalized and treated like alcohol because the government’s war on drugs has failed.

The outspoken evangelical Christian and host of ”The 700 Club” on the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network he founded said the war on drugs is costing taxpayers billions of dollars. He said people should not be sent to prison for marijuana possession.

The 81-year-old first became a self-proclaimed ”hero of the hippie culture” in 2010 when he called for ending mandatory prison sentences for marijuana possession convictions.

”I just think it’s shocking how many of these young people wind up in prison and they get turned into hardc*re criminals because they had a possession of a very small amount of a controlled substance,” Robertson said on his show March 1. ”The whole thing is crazy. We’ve said, ‘Well, we’re conservatives, we’re tough on crime.’ That’s baloney.”

Robertson’s support for legalizing pot appeared in a New York Times story published Thursday. His spokesman confirmed to The Associated Press that Robertson supports legalization with regulation. Robertson was not made available for an interview.

”I really believe we should treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol,” Robertson was quoted by the newspaper as saying. ”If people can go into a liquor store and buy a bottle of alcohol and drink it at home legally, then why do we say that the use of this other substance is somehow criminal?”

Robertson said he ”absolutely” supports ballot measures in Colorado and Washington state that would allow people older than 21 to possess a small amount of marijuana and allow for commercial pot sales. Both measures, if passed by voters, would place the states at odds with federal law, which bans marijuana use of all kinds.

Rush Limbaugh Haiti Comments Video:Fiirst we had the Pat Robertson Haiti quotes video that surfaced where he tells us that the horrible tragedy is likely the result of the pact with the devil they made back in the 1800s. And then we were treated to Rush Limbaugh’s own Haiti comments video later in the week.

Apparently Rush Limbaugh didn’t want Pat Robertson getting all the negative press this week so he took the opportunity on his Wednesday program to let us all know that the Haitian earthquake was going provide President Barack Obama with the perfect opportunity to get closer to the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black [communities] in this country.”

I might have been torn on which video is more offensive were Robertson a bit younger but I think I’m  going to go with Rush Limbaugh. Let me know what you think.
