Presidential Stances on Marijuana

If legalization is a big topic for you this November, you should know who to vote for.  Mitt Romney and the Republicans are against the legalization of marijuana even for medicinal purposes, stating "There are synthetic forms of marijuana that are available for people who need it for prescription. Don't open the doorway to medicinal marijuana." So if you are a big advocate of cannabis, then this might be something to consider if you are leaning Romney.
Obama, on the other hand, isn't going to be able to legalize the substance any time soon, but would like to decriminalize it, and "treat it like a public health program". While this wouldn't be as drastic as make it completely legal, it is still quite contrasting from Romney position of making it illegal altogether.
Just something to think about when voting in two weeks.
