Pelosi on pot: Leave it to states
RAW STORY

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke today on the House floor in favor of an amendment offered by Congressmen Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) that would permit the use of medical marijuana with a doctor's recommendation.

"In my district of San Francisco, we have lost more than 20,000 people to AIDS over the last two decades, and I have seen firsthand the suffering that accompanies this dreadful disease," Pelosi remarked. "Medical marijuana alleviates some of the most debilitating symptoms of AIDS, including pain, wasting syndrome, and nausea."

Pelosi has been an ardent defender of medical marijuana and was a co-sponsor of a 1998 bill that would have ended federal restrictions on the medical uses of pot, and move marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule II drug.

GO NANCY GO!:woohoo:
