Here's an excellent example of why I like this guy:
Democrat Kucinich endorses medical pot use
He says he'd issue executive order if elected president
...
"Compassion requires that medical marijuana be available" Kucinich said during a telephone interview after a campaign stop in Cupertino. "We must have health-care systems which are compassionate . . . so I support it without reservation."
From today's SF Chronicle.
Here's an article on the side effects of one of medical marijauna's alternatives: Oxycontin, a powerful narcotic originally introduced to manage cancer patients' pain, and now available for arthritis and back pain. Hmm.... highly addictive (and, one would assume, expensive) narcotic with scary side effects; or a plant I can grow in my own yard that's not chemically addictive and whose side effects are increased appetite, mild euphoria, and drowsiness... I dunno, that's a tough one...
