The Marijuana Policy Project wants top Republican presidential candidates to prove they know what they're talking about when it comes to medical marijuana.
The group, which fights criminal penalties for marijuana possession, says its supporters have asked Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and John McCain, and all of them have said marijuana is "too dangerous" for medical use or not necessary.
At a press conference today in front of Mr. Giuliani's New Hampshire campaign headquarters in Manchester, MPP offered $10,000 — the maximum contribution allowed from a political action committee — if any of the three candidates offered scientific evidence to back up their claims.
MPP promised that any campaign that responds will have its claims "evaluated by an independent panel of medical experts."

What?? Nothing to say gentlemen, where is your proof, where the beef? All those medical reports you keep talking about? All I see is smoke, mirrors, and a lot of slight of mouth. Bottom line is simple, We, the People, for the people, have voted for legal medical marijuana, and have won. So the evil ones..(Bush, McCain and the others) The evil ones...Crikey I love that one... would keep us from our legal rights in this matter by bringing the feds into the picture. What happen to your oath to protect the people? There is only one death that I know of from marijuana: that was a poor bugger that was standing in the wrong place when they drop the bales -- ooops. So Mr. Bush, McCain and the others: as the Rock would say, Just Bring It!! Unless you have nothing, which I think is the case, or you folks would have done so by now. just a thought.
