What people are saying about Lance Brown for President:

Mojo Nixon, entertainer and revolutionary

"Wow I am amazed and joyous! Your views are just what this country needs! I am going to spread the word about your campaign." - Elizabeth Ward

"I read every article posted on your site and was amazed to find myself repeatedly saying 'Wow, I agree with that.'"

"I just want to take a minute to tell you that we really do appreciate your writing over here. I find the state of this country (and its flock of good frickin' citizens) so outrageous that I mostly sit around pulling my hair out and fantasizing about Canada... sometimes Iceland... But, incredibly, you don't stew! It's like you're on a whole other plane. It's so easy to lose sight of reality with all that glare from the fancy magic show illusions of our 'two' party system. Seriously. Your message is hopeful and real."

-Kristen Werner, Rollinsford, N.H.

Dean has indicated in a couple interviews that while he doesn't support across-the-board legalization of marijuana, he's not opposed to the legalization of medical marijuana if an FDA study supports its use. To quote one interview:

My opposition to medical marijuana is based on science, not based on ideology.
More specifically, I don’t think we should single out a particular drug for approval through political means when we approve other drugs through scientific means.

When I’m President, I will require the FDA to evaluate marijuana with a double blind study with the same kinds of scientific protocols that every other drug goes through.

I’m certainly willing to abide by what the FDA says.

I've seen him hold the same position in other interviews, too.
