• Sarah Palin admits that she had once smoked marijuana but

to 4 oz. marijuana per person as legal.  The Alaskan law was
reversed in 1990 in making it illegal.

not like it then and stopped smoking it.

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

• She does not support the legalization of marijuana
fearing the future of her four kids.

• Palin believes that her smoking marijuana along with 100
million Americans who have done so is no big deal but now feels
that users should be put in jail.
		

• Romney believes that the push to legalize marijuana for
medical use is an effort by a committed few to try and get
marijuana out into the public and ultimately legalize it.

• During his 2008 presidential bid Romney was asked about
his stand on the legalizing of medical marijuana he replied thus,
"I don't want marijuana to be used in our country. I'm not going
to legalize marijuana."

• Mitt Romney strongly opposes the use of medicinal
marijuana to cure illnesses. He says that there are many
synthetic forms of this drug that are legal and that can be used
for people who need it.

• He was reported to have turned his back on a patient who
sought his advice on the use of medical marijuana since the
synthetic marijuana did not help in his illness.

• Romney is reported not to have opposed the research of
two universities that used high potency medical marijuana for
their medical testing.

• Mitt Romney's view is that the people of his country
should be comfortable when they are ill and for this he does not
want them to take drugs that would ruin their lives rather than
cure illnesses.  For this purpose Romney says, "I don't want to
encourage more involvement in or allow more people to get
involved in the marijuana and the drug culture."
