Feb. 26, 2015--Former Gov. Gary Johnson (R-NM), seen as a likely candidate for the Libertarian presidential nomination, participated in a debate on marijuana legalization with former U.S. Rep. Anne Marie Buerkle, who is now a commissioner at the U.S. Product Safety Commission.  Townhall's Mary Katharine Hamm moderated the debate, which started out with five-minute opening statements.  Johnson said that as governor, "I came to recognize hat half of what we spend on law enforcement, half of what we spen on the courts, and half of what we spend on the prisons is drug-related, and to what end?  Well that end is we put a lot of people in jail."  [C-SPAN video]
