For Obama supporters. Has anyone heard his views on medical marijuana?

For Obama supporters. Has anyone heard his views on medical marijuana?

None of the candidates have said much on this issue. McCain doesn't need to as we all know where the republicans stand on it.
Hillary doesn't say much on the subject but did say that she would stop the federal raids on marijuana suppliers in the states who have legalized it for medical use.
Obama has said nothing on the subject that I can find.

    Can you point me to one of those public promises? Video, audio, News item, whatever. I listen to as many of his speeches as I can, have been to his website, searched the internet, and I can't find one single word on it. In fact it's been hard to find much mention of it from either of the 3. That just seems strange to me, especially since you hear a lot about the crack and coke sentances. Thanks for the rest of the info also.

    I haven't heard any mention of it from anyone. Might be pretty far down on the priority list at the moment..

    Answered It will depend on the audience he is speaking to at the moment

    B. Hussein Obama is a LIAR and a FAKE and a BIG MOUTH W/O BRAINS that will tell you anything.

    Besides he has done COCAINE, so mariguana is nothing.

    I don't know what he has said about it, I think it should be legal...I know Ron Paul supports that on the federal level.

    I don't care actually. But I seriously doubt 'McCain don't need to" he has parted with the Party line of thinking before. It's a great question to ask all of them.

    Here is what was said by Hillary and McCain. I was tired when I made the short answer above.

    During a Manchester campaign stop on July 13, Len Epstein, a volunteer for Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana (GSMM), told Sen. Clinton, "Twelve states allow medical marijuana, but the Bush administration continues to raid patients," to which she responded, "Yes, I know. It's terrible." Epstein then asked, "Would you stop the federal raids?" Sen. Clinton responded firmly, "Yes, I will."

    The following day in Claremont, Sen. McCain held a town hall meeting at which he was asked about his stance on medical marijuana. When asked in April about ending the medical marijuana raids, McCain had responded, "I will let states decide that issue." But this time, when GSMM campaign manager Stuart Cooper asked Sen. McCain if he still supported ending the raids, he went into headlong retreat. "Not yet," he said. "I don't think marijuana is healthy, I don't think that it is good for people, and there is a large body of medical opinion that says there is plenty of other medications that are more effective and better and less damaging to one's health to use to relieve pain. So I will continue to look at it on your behalf and many other young people who feel very strongly about it, but right now my answer to you is no."

    Thank you for elaborating on that. I wish more people would do that and you see what is going on and make an informed opinion. :)
