?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.? ? Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, June 4, Francestown, N.H.

?I believe that marijuana is a gateway drug. That is my view and that?s the view of the federal drug czar and other experts . . . I do not support the use of marijuana for medical purposes. I believe there are other ways of relieving that pain and suffering.? ? U.S. Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), August 11, Milton, N.H.

?I don?t want medicinal marijuana; there are synthetic forms of marijuana that are available for people who need it for prescription. Don?t open the doorway to medicinal marijuana.? ? Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, July 25, Bedford, N.H.
