At a campaign stop in Dover, NH, Mitt Romney was asked about medical
marijuana by Clayton Holton, who has muscular dystrophy. "I have the
support of five of my doctors saying I am living proof that medical
marijuana works," Holton told Romney.
Romney suggested he use synthetic marijuana instead, but Holton said,
"I have tried it and it makes me throw up."
He then asked, "Will you arrest me and my doctors if I get medical marijuana?"
"I'm not in favor of medical marijuana being legal," Romney told
Holton curtly, then deliberately turned his back on him to say "Hi,
how are you" to other members of the audience.
