For all the Liberal minded swing voters out there, This is Mitt's policy on Medical Marijuana.
"People talk about medicinal marijuana, and, you know,
you hear that story: People who are sick need medicinal marijuana. But
marijuana is the entry drug for people trying to get kids hooked on
drugs. I don't want medicinal marijuana. There are synthetic forms of
marijuana that are available for people who need it for prescription.
Don't open the doorway to medicinal marijuana."
Mitt Romney supports federal raids on medical marijuana facilities in states which have approved its use
You know, I haven't looked at the experiences in those
12 states, and I don't know what options there are for pain relief from
medicinally supplied marijuana, meaning through chemical means, pills,
or something of that nature. The concern, of course, is that marijuana
has become the entry drug of choice and contributing a lot to the drug
culture...I will inform myself on it, but I'm not going to promise you
here that I'm going to change the federal law with regards to clamping
down on the use of marijuana in our society for medical purposes.

"It's been disappointing to see the trajectory of the
war on drugs. Are we making progress in some areas? Yes. We spend about
$750 million in Colombia alone to help them eradicate the growth of
cocaine there. We're spending a substantial amount in Afghanistan to try
and replace that crop. Um, we're spending a lot to try to keep drugs
from growing around the world."
The US must continue to provide strong support for
Colombia's efforts to combat the ruthless narco-terrorists that operate
there. Our partnership with Colombia contributes to our security and our
quality of life--sowing stability in a critical region and helping keep
deadly drugs off our streets.

The Romney Administration also filed legislation today
to stiffen fines and penalties for possession with intent to manufacture
methamphetamines. Originating on the West Coast, methamphetamine abuse
and crime-related activities have become a national epidemic. The
alarming trend is marching towards Massachusetts and neighboring states.
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's administration is
calling on the state legislature to provide funding for public schools
that want to initiate student drug testing.
The bill contains a list of chemicals that can be used
to manufacture methamphetamines and possession of any one, or
combination of, these chemicals with intent to manufacture or distribute
will result in a felony offense punishable up to five years in prison
and up to $20,000 in fines.

*Inhales a toke ~ no way I'm backing this guy
+7I don't even smoke Marijuana, but Romney is definitely a dolt; his lack of comprehension in Science is laughable. Plants have a unique build up that can create cures for viruses, diseases and even disabilities. One change in a variable in a molecule can change the product into a new substance. Plants can even effect human emotions. I don't want a President who is science illiterate, how the hell does he think break through have been made. Plants, animals and even the human body, hold special substances that can cure or harm us, it's how you use it. *Major Face Palm*
Why are we spending so much money then?

He should try it. it'll losen him up. he seems like a tight ass. the way he treated that guy in the last link was disgusting
I say legalize it and restrict it like we do the tobacco and alchohol. Make the ATF the ATFC (cannabis:) Illegalizing all drugs is just one step closer to complete dictatorship.
Is there anything productive that you can offer here?
We have lived with this view for many years.
Still;
I believe he would in the end still leave it up to the state to decide for itself.
When my husband was sick, they were going to send him home from the hospital, where he was receiving morphine every two hours, with no pain meds whatsoever. After tracking them down in a stairwell, they agreed to give him something. Turned out to be vicoden 500 mgs...after morphine every two hours! He was in such pain and so nauseous that I finally got him some pot to help ease his pain and stimulate his appetite. While the police did confiscate it, not a word was said to me about it.
This man is showed just exactly what type of man he is - and isn't - when he spoke to and walked away from that young man with MS.
