in Medical Marijuana

Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was confronted head-on Saturday over the issue of medical marijuana. At a campaign stop in Dover, New Hampshire, Romney was asked about medical marijuana by wheel chair bound Clayton Holton, who has muscular dystrophy.

"I have the support of five of my doctors saying I am living proof that medical marijuana works. I am completely against legalizing it for everyone but there is medical proof that medical marijuana works" Holton told Romney.

Romney suggested he use synthetic marijuana instead, but Holton said, "It makes me sick. 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.
