From the Marijuana Policy Project:

Two of the leading candidates -- former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean and
U.S. Sen. John Kerry (MA) -- markedly improved their respective positions on medical marijuana. Dean agreed to impose a moratorium on the DEA's raids on medical marijuana patients and providers in states that have reduced or eliminated criminal penalties for the medical use of marijuana. And Kerry said he would stop the raids entirely.

...U.S. Sen. John Edwards from North Carolina has been the primary target of our protests. He seems almost proud to have adopted the position that seriously ill people should be put in prison for following the advice of their physicians.

All of our hard work paid a huge dividend at a town hall meeting in Henniker on Saturday, September 20. MPP's New Hampshire project, Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana (GSMM), asked John Kerry, "Would you stop the raids, as president?" Kerry responded by saying simply, "Yes." This came one day after Howard Dean, in response to a GSMM question, pledged, "Will I do what Attorney General] Ashcroft is doing? No, absolutely not." GSMM then specifically asked, "You would stop the raids?" and Dean responded, "Yeah, I'm not going to do that, anyway." To read about these encounters in greater detail, please see our press release.

Good for Dean and Kerry....Edwards needs to catch up.
