Democratic primary hopeful Bill Richardson announced today that he would sign legislation legalizing medicinal marijuana in New Mexico. Although Richardson acknowledged the signing of the bill could lead to issues during the presidential race, he said although it will be risky, it's the right thing to do.
Richardson who is trailing significantly in the primary hopes to do what he believes is right for people who are suffering. Being advised by the administration not to support the bill, Richardson said “My God, lets be reasonable." It is unclear whether Richardson will gain any ground in the primary with this controversial signing.
