I would not arrest Ted for using medical pot. But I’m a ‘’compassionate conservative’’.

Agreed...this is what I abhor about the left, politicizing tragedy and suffering.

There’d be a case for this sort of thing if Senator Kennedy were visibly using his influence to block medical marijuana projects, but he isn’t.

I never knew a pot smoker that got brain cancer. That proves pot is good for you.

The exploitation by the political left on each and every issue is amazing.

This guy assumes that Kennedy doesn’t smoke cannibis. That’s a big assumption.

Smoking pot is the key to reducing the risk of brain tumors and cancer? Sounds like the logic only a pothead could come up with.

So if one smokes pot, one can use a cell phone and not risk a brain tumor?
