Reply #189: That Dean's killing of a medical marijuana law in VT is an important issue

[GeorgeBushytail]

When Dean was governor of VT he killed a medical marijuana bill.

I used medical marijuana legally when I lived in WA for epilepsy and intractable pain, so this is an issue near to my heart.

I am a medical marijuana activist. I worked at the Green Cross medical mj co-op in Seattle so I know lots of patients benefitting from legal access.

On DU whenever I have brought up the fact that Dean torpedoed a medical marijuana bill I get attacked - called a faker, a drug addict, a liar, an anti-Dean zealot.

I am a lefty activist, always have been since my Dad took me to Civil Rights marches in the early 60's, and I agree with 95% of what Dean stood and stands for.

I support Dean for DNC chair, but I still expect to take flak for this posting.
