Even Republicans should be able to get stoned, according to a Fox News anchor. While interviewing Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, Fox News' Gretchen Carlson found herself in the curious position of advocating for marijuana rights Friday.

Chong told Carlson that he wants to see marijuana legalized -- but not for Republicans. "We want to legalize pot for everyone that wants to smoke it. You know, we don't want to legalize it for Republicans."

9. The correct term for a Republican that smokes Pot is a Libertarian.

You run into them all the time with dancing bear stickers on their BMW's

[Fly by night]

10. Respectfully, no

I have several Republican friends (small business-critters, low tax supporters, know-nothing types) who smoke pot and are hardly Libertarian. In fact, we have some Republican legislators here in Tennessee who have witnessed the benefits of cannabis for their dying relatives and will likely be strong supporters of our effort to re-establish our state's medical cannabis program.

Most Republicans are lots of things (stupid, insensitive, selfish) but anti-pot they are not.

12. Their brains seem to be wired differently

Once they have a toke or two, they start demanding tax cuts.
