We've come a long way since Dean blocked a medical marijuana bill as governor of Vermont..
"C. "Last year, Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean blocked a medical marijuana bill from becoming law when he was governor of Vermont. The bill would have protected seriously ill patients from arrest if they are using medical marijuana with the approval of their doctors. Knowing this about Howard Dean, are you much more likely, somewhat more likely, somewhat less likely, or much less likely to vote for him in the Jan. primary election, or would it make no difference?"[/]

"On October 5, 2003, the day after the Great Midwest Marijuana Harvest Festival in Madison Wisconsin, me and my friend, New Jersey medical marijuana activist Jim Miller, husband of the late Cheryl Miller, an MS patient who passed away in June 2003, 32 years after diagnosis, attended a large Dean rally at the Kohl Center on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. News reports put the crowd at over 5,000. Dean, who blocked a medical marijuana bill as Vermont governor, had a position on medical marijuana that earned him a grade of "F" from a New Hampshire pro-medical marijuana group."
