Giuliani rejects medical marijuana use

CONCORD, N.H. - Presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday that people who want to legalize marijuana for medical purposes really just want to make the drug available to everyone.
 
"I believe the effort to try and make marijuana available for medical uses is really a way to legalize it. There's no reason for it," the former New York mayor said during a town hall-style meeting at New Hampshire Technical Institute.

He also said there are better alternatives.

"You can accomplish everything you want to accomplish with things other than marijuana, probably better. There are pain medications much superior to marijuana," he said.

"We'd be much better off telling people the truth. Marijuana adds nothing to the array of legal medications and prescription medications that are available for pain relief."

What he said..."Marijuana adds nothing to the array of legal medications and prescription medications that are available for pain relief."

What he meant..."Legal medical marijuana adds nothing to my pockets and takes away money from pharmaceutical corporations who force feed you prescription medications. Oh I must add, my beLIEfs are brought to you by Pfizer!"
