COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS/AP) – Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan tells a Colorado television station that the federal government shouldn’t interfere with states that have legalized medical marijuana.
Ryan told KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs that he personally doesn’t approve of medical marijuana laws. But he said that states should have the right to choose whether to legalize the drug for medical purposes.

He’s right.
You are ridiculous.
I agree with Ryan. Either you have states rights under a federal government or you do not. We have lost more rights and freedoms under the “War on Drugs” than we can bear as a free people.
Yes they are.. and far more dangerous than pot.
Let the states decide what medicinal herbs their citizens can smoke. It’s their medical right.
Grow up.
My dad died of cancer, and weed was the only thing that got him through the pain and nausea at the end.
Referring to a wonderful man, who flew 33 times ove the Reich in a freezing B-17, raised a family, and obeyed the law as a responsible home-owning citizen all his life as an “equally dirtbag criminal “patient” is about as low as one can go.
You are a hateful ignorant individual, who wouldn’t have been worthy to hold his hat.
Jagoff!
“signs must be posted in the home of anyone taking Thalidomide.”
This is very intriguing! Can you post where this requirement comes from?
>> Why do I care if my position makes some hippie happy?
>> On this issue, the “hippies” are RIGHT!
Why taint an otherwise good post with a reference to hippies?

My step Dad was a Korea and Vietnam vet... Master Sargent Air Force... He died in his early 60's. His heart was bad. Doctors said the stress of so many years of combat took it's toll. He use to tell me that the planes they had to get on during the Vietnam/Cambodian missions were so bad they would pretty much tie one on before their mission. They were flying and yes they were flying. Sorry to pierce the purity of some who think it's all about prim and proper, but these guys were balls to the wall and I don't fault any ONE of them that drank a bit of Jack Daniels or smoked a joint before going into what could be their last moment on earth. Flame away, anyone who denies this was the norm is a liar.
I think I just read that there is move to stop using Percocet and the various codeine and acetaminophen compounds because the presence of high levels of acetaminophen was too dangerous.
I’ve never heard of kidney damage from marijuana, yet acetaminophen is available OTC.
The Feds keep marijuana on the class-1 substance list—or whatever it’s called—as justification for not relinquishing control to the States. This is the heart of the problem IMO.
It wasn’t good. It was all about taking out cartel rivals. What, you don’t think they’re that corrupt? Dig into Fast and Furious a bit more...
Yes sir, it was a politically smart thing to say. For the next few weeks that’s all that matters.

“Ryan said that the federal government shouldn’t interfere with states that have legalized medical marijuana.
“Ryan told KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs that he personally doesn’t approve of medical marijuana laws. But he said that states should have the right to choose whether to legalize the drug for medical purposes.
“Ryan said the issue would not be a priority for a Mitt Romney administration.”
From some of the thoughts expressed here, you’d think he had proposed putting road-kill hobos in school lunches.
correct.
step 1 of hole filling: stop digging
Many OTC drugs are more dangerous than pot.
Murder em all?
Reefer Madness was NOT a documentary!
God made cannabis.
God is good.
God is Love.
Keep your hate to yourself please.
My dad used to tell me that when they landed after a mission and went to interrogation, the G-2 and group intel officers gave everyone three shots of whiskey.
Not only to relax them after flying through flak and cold for hours on end, but to loosen their tongues for the questioning, hehehe.
I know a lot of potheads
That is why I don’t like it
I never said anything about killing potheads, I was talking about the plants.
