Perhaps he'll avoid making it an issue during the campaign, but of course it's in the nature of campaigns that they make people take positions. So keep your fingers crossed. You've had a good reputation with the advocates of medical marijuana. You even recently received an award from some of them for your support. I believe in this.
Marijuana has medical properties.
I think just about anybody in San Francisco knows somebody who swears that it has alleviated their suffering. When I was a member of the Board of Supervisors, I passed legislation making medical marijuana very low as a priority for law enforcement, so police officers could turn their back on it when it was a clear medical case. Not a lot of support. I think basically people have spent so many years treating marijuana as a criminal drug that it's difficult for them to switch their view of it and see that it might have a medical purpose. They'd have to look back at all the people they've arrested and put in prison and wonder if they did the right thing.
