Guide to the Candidates Views on Medical Marijuana
In an effort to press the presidential candidates to take a stand on behalf of medical marijuana patients, Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) has launched Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana (GSMM) in cooperation with New Hampshire residents. A Web site, GraniteStaters.com, grades the nine Democratic candidates and President Bush ­with third-party candidates to be added at a later date -- on their positions regarding medical marijuana.

Ranked at the bottom of the pack are President George Bush, with an "F" for stepping up the raids on medical marijuana patients and caregivers, and for­mer Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, with an "F+" for killing a med­ical marijuana bill in Vermont in late 2002. U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio is the only candidate to be rated with an "A," for publicly endorsing legal access to medical marijuana (and pledging to reform drug laws in general).

During the campaign, GSMM will be asking the candidates questions about medical marijuana at town hall meetings across New Hampshire in an effort to inject the medical marijuana issue into the January 27, 2004, presidential primary election.
