On the issue of medicinal marijuana, Obama said that if the “best way to relieve pain and suffering is through medicinal marijuana,” then it’s something he’s open to.

Not too swift, Obama, but, in our drug-crazed country, truly enlightened.
Curiously the New York Times only reported that Obama was against legalization and admitted he had inhaled (unlike Bill Clinton).
Pure madness. There is a tiny list of people who are allowed to have marijuana but no one is allowed to sell it to them. The first person that finally got on the list had glaucoma. He had a choice between breaking the law and going blind. The lawbreaker had been arrested numerous times. Pain in suffering is hardly the only medicinal effect of marijuana. I believe it has been approved for multiple sclerosis sufferers to help with tremors. In cancer patients, it not only helps with nausea but increases the appetite.
