Harry Reid Comes Out For Medical Marijuana

Whoa, duuude! Here’s something we didn’t expect:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) came out in favor of medical marijuana Thursday in a Las Vegas Sun interview, becoming one of the highest elected officials in the U.S. government to give his support.

“If you’d asked me this question a dozen years ago, it would have been easy to answer — I would have said no, because [marijuana] leads to other stuff,” Reid was quoted as saying. “But I can’t say that anymore.”

“I think we need to take a real close look at this,” he added. “I think that there’s some medical reasons for marijuana.”
