4. Here you go

He has said that he doesn't support general legalization but might change his mind on it. And more focus on treatment, other standard democratic stuff, etc.

5. stop (DEA) raids on ill medical marijuana patients
Retired Army General Clark recently pledged unequivocally to stop the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) raids on seriously ill medical marijuana patients. Clark also said that, as president, he may sign medical marijuana legislation.

-snip-

"As president, will you sign legislation allowing cancer, AIDS patients and other seriously ill people to use medical marijuana, with their doctors' approval?"
Clark replied, "Well, I'm certainly moving in that direction. I've got to see the evidence brought forward, but I just don't believe that we ought to be using the federal law enforcement means to run down these cases. A number of states have passed these laws. I'll certainly look at that and I'm certainly inclined to look -- to view favorably the requirement and the desirability of medical marijuana."

During a November 13 town hall meeting hosted by his campaign in Portsmouth, a GSMM member asked Clark if, as president, he would stop the DEA raids on seriously ill medical marijuana patients in the nine states where criminal penalties have either been reduced or eliminated for medicinal use of marijuana. Clark replied, "In a simple yes-or-no answer: yes."
