JUSTIN NADEAU BACKS MEDICAL MARIJUANA
Democrat Justin Nadeau yesterday accepted the endorsement of the
Marijuana Policy Project, a national group advocating the right of
doctors to prescribe medical marijuana.
"While I oppose the legalization of marijuana for non-medicinal
purposes, I question why my opponent (Jeb Bradley) believes that drugs
such as OxyContin or Percocet, powerful drugs that can be legally
prescribed by physicians, are fine by him while other substances, such
as medical marijuana, should be off limits for prescription from
physicians," Nadeau said.
Nadeau, campaigning for the 1st Congressional District seat, will make
appearances today and Friday at the following events:
5:30 a.m., Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Outside Gate 1; 11:30 a.m.,
Granny D Rally, from Goodwin Park to Market Square, Portsmouth;
Friday, 8:45 a.m., Charlie Sherman Show, 610 AM, WGIR-AM studio, 195
McGregor St., Manchester; 7 p.m., congressional forum, ECHO Management
Group Building, Conway.
