GOI: Ask Mitt Anything my ass. Ask Mitt Anything--and be ignored. His non answer speaks volumes, he would arrest that man for easing his pain by using medicinal marijuana.
He's a coward for not saying that to this man's face. It's easy to sit there and condemn people for seeking pain relief from marijuana but when you have to look them in the face, these gutless scoundrels are left speechless and slink away. They don't want to have to worry their pretty little minds with images of people wasting away in wheel-chairs throwing up from re-actions to "accepted" pain medications.
I know for a fact that medicinal marijuana works wonders for people. I myself have used it many times when faced with the flu and stopping vomiting long enough to enable me to take all the meds that I have to take daily. And don't tell me to just take pepto because that stuff doesn't even touch the nausea and in fact often makes me even more sick!!
Then there are times when I forget to take one of my medications the night before and the next day I get violently sick, throwing up constantly from withdrawals. On those occasions I can not keep my meds down and the longer I go without my meds the greater my chance of having to be hospitalized. That being said, marijuana stops that down-ward spiral by allowing me, again, to keep my medicine down. It calms my stomach better then anything I've tried before and I've tried everything. And not only does it calm the stomach but it increases appetite which is vital for AIDS and cancer patients to name only two examples.
Also, I am one of those people that can not handle prescribed pain pills, I throw up every. time. However, when I smoke marijuana in conjunction with taking the pain pills then I am able to keep them down.
And I know many, many people who smoke marijuana for stomach ailments and some pain conditions and that includes people who are highly trained professionals who are not "stoners" in the least.
These prohibition nuts are all in the pocket of the drug companies who push drugs that are often worse for your body then marijuana.
It is beyond time that we stop criminalizing the terminally ill for using marijuana to ease their suffering. In fact, I think marijuana should be legalized period. It is clearly less of a problem then both tobacco and alcohol.

I'm proud to say we did that in California. Problem is that the Feds are still all over the growers like white on rice. So much for your freedoms and your right to decent health care. I am a bit surprised though that Romney punted.
I'm proud to say that we did that in Colorado too. And in Denver the city voted to legalize small amounts but the cops are still enforcing the law by citing state law that still has the "drug" banned.
The problem there is that the Denver cops are over-reaching in their power. I don't know how they can use the state law to convict citizens of the city of Denver who passed a law legalizing small amounts of weed!!
They aren't state cops, they are Denver cops and therefore should obey and enforce city law, which says that people can have small amounts of pot. This is not graduate level political science and/or law we're dealing with here. It's fairly plain and simple.
As for the Feds over-reaching, what happened to states rights that Mitt Romney and other Republicans constantly speak about? This issue is just another example of the government outright ignoring the voters. How long will we let them get away with this shit?
What else would you expect from a man that would strap a dog to the roof of his car?
Marijuana should be legal. Period. Romney is a callous tool.

He seems like the heartless business CEO type.
