• Mike Huckabee says bluntly that he does not support the idea of making marijuana legal even
for medicinal purposes. He opines that marijuana has no medicinal use and that alternative drugs
could be used.
• Huckabee's responded to whether cancer and AIDS patients using marijuana should be jailed
by saying, "I think I?d leave that to the DEA. Let me just be very blunt. I don't support the idea.
I think there are better ways to treat medical illnesses than the use of a drug that has really
caused so many more people to have their lives injured than it has to necessarily have their lives
helped."
• Replying to the question whether he would stop the federal raids on medical marijuana
patients he replied thus, "you know, I don't support the idea of legalizing marijuana, so I want to
be honest about that. I don't think there are as many wonderful things to come from it as there are
some dangers to come from it."
• Mike Huckabee says that he will not ignore the law but if the people like to believe in it
they should get the law changed accordingly.
