KUCINICH FIELDS FAIRGOERS' QUESTIONS

He Supports Medical Marijuana And The United Nations Rebuilding Iraq.

Iowans quizzed Dennis Kucinich on medical marijuana, health care,
renewable energy and the effort to impeach President Clinton during
his visit Thursday to the Iowa State Fair.

Kucinich, one of nine Democrats running for president, spent more than
half his time at The Des Moines Register's political soapbox answering
questions, rather than giving a lengthy speech.

"I support medical marijuana," Kucinich said. "I believe that
compassion requires that if anyone needs medical marijuana, their
doctor makes that decision, that the government shouldn't be in a
position where they're interfering."
