The Bill Richardson difference
The presidential hopeful with the longest, most varied résumé, the New Mexico governor speaks forthrightly -- and off the cuff -- about his in-progress campaign platform.
By Walter Shapiro [2007-07-20]

  • But what about his medical marijuana policy?

    In Los Angeles this week, medical marijuana dispensary landlords were threatened with 20 years in prison each.

    Because of course, you know, they're on the same moral level as people who run crackhouses, right?

    Right?

    I would really like to know how our presidential candidates feel about that.

    Is this going to be kept some big secret until after the election?

    Are medical marijuana patients going to be allowed to use democracy too?

    I'm not voting for anyone who plans to force me back on pharmaceuticals because they think Big Pharm has all the answers, or claims they're waiting for more science while they let the DEA get away with keeping the science from being done.

    Why does this issue have so heavily censored in Salon? They don't censor it out of the LA Times.

    The LA Times even took an actual stand against the DEA.

    Can you even IMAGINE such a thing happening in Salon?????

    Like I said during the Paris Hilton debacle -- thank God for the LA Times.
