Governor Richardson Comment About MMJ, this after a New Mexico man who has been wheelchair bound for 20 years,
now a card carrying member of the New Mexico medical marijuana program, and had recently purchased a grow-kit off e-bay
to grow his medicine. Last week raided by the DEA.

Excerpt: Fielding questions for better than an hour, Richardson spoke to a wide variety of topics -- from his Hispanic heritage to his condemnation of the Bush Administration for ordering federal authorities to arrest a terminally-ill cancer patient in New Mexico for possessing medical marijuana.

"You want to arrest somebody. Arrest me," said Richardson to cheers and applause.

Last winter Richardson signed a bill allowing limited use of medical marijuana for pain relief for the terminally ill.

"I am not for decriminalizing drugs," said Richardson, who said illegal drug use is a national problem better solved with more emphasis on education and rehabilitation as well as the enforcement of drug laws."
