I'm a centrist - I hate both sides; but could lean both ways! What I do know is that I will vote for the loosing candidate; I don't want to break my perfect record! You can't hold me accountable for the mess we are in!
Personal-80%. Voted no on drug legalization.
Economic-100%
The same except a "personal" of 90 %; voted "maybe/sometimes" on the drug issue.
Other than "ingesting" rather than smoking a little grass in college (other health concerns), I've never been much on drug use, but understand that "Prohibition" -- whether for alcohol or anything stronger -- both increases the tax burden and fails to "solve" the problem -- just adds another layer of hacks and bureaucrats.
But both the dangers inherent in the stronger stuff, and some of the demonstrations of irresponsible attitudes and behavior by some of the advocates for legalized marijuana at this site are one of the few credible arguments against the stuff I can think of.

I can't answer several of the questions so I'm not sure I can get a score.
Repeal laws prohibiting adult possession and use of drugs - I don't believe in the state so laws that in theory apply to everyone are immoral. Repealing the laws means you give you legitimacy to the state as does enacting them.
Replace government welfare with private charity. - Of course eliminate involuntary government but this statement seems to suggest private charity be mandated in some form. So end government theft and then give to charity only if the individual wants to. If you decide to burn your money, masturbate with it, eat it, etc. that's up to you.
Cut taxes and government spending by 50% or more - Eliminate involuntary government period. Why in the world would someone who is getting robbed believe a viable solution is to negotiate a reduction in the amount of money being stolen from you? And how dumb does one have to be to negotiate a contract with a proven thief/murderer/etc.? Of course, that's up to the individual if they'd like to form a contract with a thief. Just leave me out of it.
According to your answers, the political group that agrees with you most is...
LIBERTARIAN
