Herman Cain Says Medical Marijuana Is A State Issue

Joe | Nov 16, 2011 | Comments 4

It seems Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain is done avoiding the question of medical marijuana, and now says he thinks medical cannabis should be a state issue.

“If states want to legalize medical marijuana, I think that’s a state’s right,” said Cain, according to NBC News’ Andrew Rafferty. “Because one of my overriding approaches to looking at all of these issues — most of them belong at the state, because when you do something federally … you try to force one-size-fits-all.”

Who would have ever thought Republican candidates for president would be advocating for medical marijuana rights in the midst of a massive federal crackdown on medical marijuana by a Democratic president?

Strange times indeed. 2012 should be quite an interesting election year.

    I saw Bush during his last campayne say cannabis is a states rights issue, of course he lied

    This is a far cry from “advocating for medical marijuana rights.” Bush said the same thing but did the opposite. Obama said it wasn’t a good use of resources only to dedicate more resources. Once he starts speaking out against raids and pointing out glaring hypocrisies I’ll give him a little credit. Mumbling the Republican stance on literally everything after months of being pressed on the same question doesn’t constitute a fight in my mind, it shows a lack of conviction and apathy toward the issue.
