not like it then and stopped smoking it.

medical purposes is good but the drug should not be legalized.

fearing the future of her four kids.

million Americans who have done so is no big deal but now feels

• Mike Huckabee says bluntly that he does not support the
idea of making marijuana legal even for medicinal purposes. He
opines that marijuana has no medicinal use and that alternative
drugs could be used.
• Huckabee's responded to whether cancer and AIDS patients
using marijuana should be jailed by saying, "I think I?d leave
that to the DEA. Let me just be very blunt. I don't support the
idea. I think there are better ways to treat medical illnesses
than the use of a drug that has really caused so many more people
to have their lives injured than it has to necessarily have their
lives helped."
• Replying to the question whether he would stop the
federal raids on medical marijuana patients he replied thus, "you
know, I don't support the idea of legalizing marijuana, so I want
to be honest about that. I don't think there are as many
wonderful things to come from it as there are some dangers to
come from it."
• Mike Huckabee says that he will not ignore the law but
if the people like to believe in it they should get the law
changed accordingly.
