Conservative Partylines Are Mitt Romney's Anti-Drug

A young man with muscular dystrophy questions Mitt Romney about medical marijuana:



There is nothing funny about muscular dystrophy, and hats are off to this brave kid for putting Romney's feet to the fire. But while Mr. Romney used his slick politician techniques (namely smiles and aggressive handshaking momentum) to avoid having to deal with the minefield of the issue, I think I can give the young man the direct answer he was looking for: No. No, as president, Mitt Romney will not come arrest you and your doctors. I don't think he would even be allowed to do that, would he? Not that I'm not in favor of every president being issued a sheriff's badge.
