What Would President Mitt Romney's Drug Policy Look Like?
The former governor is against the legalization of medical marijuana and has applauded Big Pharma, but his views are otherwise unclear.
As our friends at Stop the Drug War have pointed out, Romney has done his best to avoid establishing a clear drug policy. But despite his best efforts, a review of his actions as the Governor of Massachusetts and his statements on the 2008 and 2012 campaign trail have established one for him -- which might best be summed up by the chorus of En Vogue's hit "My Lovin' (Never Gonna Get It)." As in, "never gonna get" legal medical marijuana, "never gonna get" a true end to the drug war, and "never gonna get" a distinctive or ideologically coherent overall policy.

Thank you Lord, the title President will not be bestowed upon this man's name......

The vote is what we need. And if we don't get that, God bless all of you. We are the mind movers. And a Rmondey presidential election means nothing, if we don't vote!

timid, rigid, in bed with big pharma and compromised with the corruption from the cash cow of the so called War on Drugs to actually reform long needed drug policy that places the peoples' best interests first.
Thanks for the thread, MindMover.

Both parties are complicit in perpetuating this failed drug war policy.
