He's entitled to his opinion. But not his own facts.

"Nobody has been arrested" for using medical marajuana and no "experts" advocate its being legalized for that purpose? Is he on that drug that actually is dangerous...um, what do they call it...oh yeah CRACK?

Does this man read the newspapers? Or is he too busy with our "Christian" Constitution?

Here is the response by Granite Staters For Medical Marajuana:

"I've personally handed Senator McCain the evidence he claimed didn't exist," said GSMM campaign manager Stuart Cooper. "But apparently the senator only listens when he's challenged publicly, so here's the evidence he's ignoring: First, just a month ago, DEA agents in a regional drug task force arrested Leonard French, a paraplegic who was one of the first patients to enroll in New Mexico's medical marijuana program. That case was widely covered by the Santa Fe New Mexican, the Associated Press and other media outlets. If the senator's staff knows how to use Google, they should have no trouble learning about this 'well-kept secret.'

"Regarding medical experts, I guess McCain is saying he's never heard of the American Public Health Association, the American Nurses Association, or the state medical societies of New York, California, and Rhode Island. He might also want to read the University of California study published in February in the journalNeurology, in which medical marijuana was shown to relieve a type of debilitating nerve pain for which there are no FDA-approved treatments."

Yes, the Know-Nothings truly do run the GOP asylum.

I know the modern Republican Party doesn't believe in the wacky concept of "science," and thinks it's a good idea to lock up elderly medical-marajuana users so we can continue to have the largest jail population IN THE WORLD. But here is a crazy idea, why not save prisons for, you know, real criminals (like 60-70% of Republicans--I know, I'm being generous with my numbers)

BTW, this has nothing to do with privatized prisons, theocratic impulses or demagoguery.

Morons.
