Short, smart, and to the point. This is the new politics around medical marijuana, and it's a welcome change. This is from 10questions.com.

Good for Edwards! He is doing well in the polls here in Iowa. I'm a Richardson fan, but Edwards is my second choice.

Medicinal Marijuana is a very controversial subject. The list of therapeutic uses is alarming. It can be used to ease arthritis, Vomiting in AID’s patients, sleep apnea, and its most wide use to treat Glaucoma. If you have ever seen someone suffer from chronic pain you would do anything in your power to help him or her. Marijuana can ease chronic pain and how can you deny people a better quality of life.

If you saw an elderly women fall wouldn’t you stop to help them up. This is how I feel in the case of legalizing Medicinal Marijuana for certain disabilities and diseases, because one person can make a difference as long as there voice is heard by the right person.

According to Carrie Leigh’s NUDE Magazines recent investigative report there is only one laboratory in the whole country that the government is listening to. This lab is controlled by the govt. where’s the democracy? If this is true, then it’s clearly incumbent upon our political representatives to disclose the true facts behind the problems involved for legalizing medical marijuana for all who need it.

I just blogged about this today. I also loved Edwards' response, but Huckabee's response is incredible. Not only did he almost entirely dodge the question, but he also seemed to suggest that as president, he would not be in the position to change the laws, only to enforce them.
