    And I was shocked how Romney was ok with the kid puking his guts up trying to use the synthetic marijuana, but totally against using the real deal for medical reasons. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if Romney tried to bring back prohibition.
    Guilanni did the same thing, the "I'm totally against medical usage of marijuana".

    All these dunderheads aren't paying attention... no one is advocating free usage, or toking up for $hits and giggles, but for using it medical reasons.

    I'm advocating use as the user sees fit....be it self-medication as a home remedy or sh*ts and giggles.  The whole medical mj debate is a loser, the govt. has no right to forbid mj use of any stripe by free American adults.

    For everyone.  You shouldn't need a prescription, you should be able to go down and buy it like a pack of cigarettes, the only difference is grass is good for you physically and psychologically if used in moderation, tobacco isn't.

    ...have to smoke it.  It can be ingested--or even vaporized in this day and age.  

    Mmmmm, brownies.

    Seriously? Fred Thompson just looks sillier and sillier whenever I see or hear anything about him in this campaign, whether it's his boring stump speeches or his (oh so witty) one-liners in those mock debates the GOP has. What a joker.
