GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PAT BUCHANAN SUPPORTS MEDICAL
MARIJUANA IF IT IS "THE ONLY WAY TO ALLEVIATE CERTAIN PAINFUL
SYMPTOMS"
   
GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan met with editors of the
Charlotte Observer on July 28, 1995.  They asked him the following
question submitted by Rick Doblin of Charlotte, NC: 
   
     Q.  "Would you support the medical use of marijuana?"
   
     A.  "If a doctor indicated to his patient that this was the only
	way to alleviate certain painful symptoms...I would defer to the
	doctor's judgement." 

(Charlotte Observer (Charlotte, NC),  July 29, 1995,  p. 12C)   
   
Call, write or post your approval of Pat Buchanan's support of medical
marijuana. He needs to know that this issue will bring him more approval
than disapproval. Ask your friends to call and write. 
   
Tell them that Pat's position on this issue is encouraging you to
