Hillary Clinton on Saturday called for looser federal regulations governing marijuana, to boost scientific research on a drug that many tout for relieving pain, among other medical benefits, according to media reports.
Speaking at a campaign event in Orangeburg, South Carolina, the Democratic presidential candidate said changing U.S. rules would acknowledge the drug's potential for medical uses and give scientists access to the drug for further investigation.
"Universities, (the) National Institutes of Health can start researching what is the best way to use it, how much of a dose does somebody need, how does it interact with other medications," Clinton said, according to CNN.

Hillary doesn’t give a damn about Marijuana laws.
The only thing she cares about is getting low-info sheeple voters to the polls, and dems have found that weed legalization gets a LOT of first-time/only-time voters in.

most doctors are reluctant to prescribe pain drugs cause they could lose their license to practice medicine for over prescribing them.

HELL NO....
Like it or not, weed is a gateway drug, that leads to other life-destructing drugs. Not for all, but certainly enough.

If she becomes POTUS we’re all going to need to ingest and inhale all the pain relief we can get.

Drug laws have long been used by the nanny state as a way to imprison people. Decriminalize it and be done with it.

Hillary's doctor told her to quit booze and her Secret Service agents won't buy her weed. Has to send Huma.
