By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer (Tue Jul 10) 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." |
