John Kerry has promised to end the raids against the use of medical marijuana that have been a hallmark of President Bush's drug and crime policies. These have even been going on in states which have passed laws allowing the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Yes, you might think that the supposed "conservative" would be the one more likely to respect states rights, but you would be wrong. And you might think that a "compassionate" conservative would care about helping to lessen the suffering of people in pain, but, sadly, you'd be wrong about that too. The president is more interested in maintaining his tough image than actually helping the sick. Yes, he's a man of ... character.
