1. He did answer, he said he was apposed to it...
2. I played the clip and heard him say he opposed it. What did you hear him say?
3. No he didnt answer it, but I think if the states vote yes they are for it,the govt. shouldnt break down grandmothers doors for a joint ! This I do dis-agree with Bush for.Waste of $$$
4. Mitt Romney needs to poll the people around him so he can try to speak on one issue in his lifetime without flip-flopping.
5. LOL! He just bulldozed over the guy's question. What kind of response is "I don't arrest people"? Of course we know he isn't a police officer. The only reason he considers it as a gateway drug is because for him, it probably was. He has such strong opposition for medical marijuana because he's paranoid that we're catching on to him. He probably like to smoke a joint right before he gives his "stump speeches".
6. Ron Paul wants to legalize cannabis.
7. He did not.At this time it is illegal,and Romney is suppost to uphold the law. And it is a State thing.No one is going to break down grandma's door if it is legal. in that state, and if they do she can get Edwards to sue,And there is some abuse even with the medical use.Do you want your school bus driver using a " "medical "joint before they pick up your kid.
8. Romney is an Anti-Choice and Anti-Gay-Rights bigot who shouldn't even remotely be considered for the White House by any thinking and sensible Americans.
9. I think it should be a States' issue. And they should tell FedGov to butt out and keep their nose out of it.
10. Watch the 60 minutes piece on medical marijuana in California. There are doctors so abusing the system, it isn't funny. They had one that basically would write a prescription for anyone who walked through the door. The only person he turned down was a minor.
11. I dunno...years ago I had a nasty case of cancer....not a particularly pleasant experiance. Without an appitite I began to slowly disappear. A pal of mine rolled me a couple of 'fat ones'....shazam....suddenly it was munchies time. Beside that, all that puking business went away....hey....nobody likes puking. Maybe some people do, but believe me, they can have my share. So, from personal experiance I say hell yes there should be medical marijuana and if it ain't legal then hard cheese for 'John Law'....why is this even an issue?
12. Perhaps because no one takes "medical" marijuana; just the other kind.
