From tonight's CNN Larry King live and Dean's response to the marijuana question:
KING: Santa Cruz, California, hello.

                   CALLER: Hi Governor Dean. My question to you is, given your medical background and your view on states rights, in
                   your opinion, what should the federal government do about medical marijuana?

                   DEAN: I don't think they should throw people in jail in California, but I think do think -- here's what I think. I think the
                   process by which medical marijuana is being legalized is the wrong process. I don't like it when politicians interfere
                   in medicine. It's why I am very pro-choice. Because I don't think that is the government's business. So what I will do
                   as president is, I will require the FDA within first 12 months to evaluate marijuana and see if it is, in fact, a decent
                   medicine or not. If it is, for what purposes -- for certain purposes, and I suspect it will be for cancer patients and
                   HIV/AIDS patients. And it should be allowed for that. But I suspect it will not be allowed for things like glaucoma. But
                   we have to do the FDA studies. I think marijuana should be treated like every other drug in the process and there
                   shouldn't be a special process which is based on politics to legalize it.
