This just in: GOP POTUS candidates' stated positions on legalization

From the article it wasn't clear whether or not they were asked the logical follow-up question: "How much in campaign contributions are you accepting from Big Pharma (the industry that has the most to lose if Cannabis is legalized)?"

DERP doesn't get much more DERPY than that.

...if she had at least tried it. I'm glad her doctor at least held that out as an option.

She's obviously pandering to the ultra-conservative base, but there is NO COMPARISON between THC and the poisons currently prescribed for cancer patients.

You're correct, though: Carly takes DERP to a new level!

Of course they are freedom haters they are republicans.

Nevermind the devine right of humans to grow their own plants for food and medicine. Nanny state knows what is best.

Im sure not only is big pharma behind their policy but the LEO and Prison industries are big donors as well.
