ROMNEYISMS: Government should ban pot from medicinal use because it is a d-r-u-g.

The Washington Post points out Mitt’s odd use of the term the “recreational” when asked about  legalized medical marijuana in a sate where “medicinal pot: has become a major industry.

“I oppose marijuana being used for recreational purposes and I believe the federal law should prohibit the recreational use of marijuana,”

Team Romney, as it often does, stepped in to explain:

“Governor Romney …  opposes legalizing drugs, including marijuana for medicinal purposes. He will fully enforce the nation’s drug laws, and he will oppose any attempts at legalization.”

Hmmm … while I have reservations about the “medicinal” value of pot, what does Team R mean by “drugs?”  Since caffeine is a drug, are they ready to shut down Starbucks?
