DRUG WARS' SUPER SUNDAY

MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENTS WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY

MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE -- Medical marijuana patients were the clear
winners in today's New Hampshire primary as U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-MA)

solid majority of Granite Staters voted for candidates who have pledged to
end the Bush administration's raids on medical marijuana patients and
providers.
