According to records obtained from the New Mexico Secretary of State Office, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson had received 2 campaign contributions of $25,000 from out of state donors who favor drug legalization. Governor Richardson supports the "medical" marijuana bill before the New Mexico Legislature. He supports this despite a finding by the federal Food and Drug Administration that crude marijuana has no medicinal benefits and that there are other better drugs available.
Why is Richardson going against our drug consumer protection agency? He received $50,000 in campaign contributions from out of state donors who favor legalization of marijuana.
Governor Richardson got $25,000 from the New York based Drug Policy Alliance Network
The Drug Policy Alliance wants to legalize all drugs. He also got $25,000 from Billionaire George Soros who is a major financier behind the Drug Policy Alliance Soros pledged $4 million over five years to the Lindesmith Center, a pro-marijuana legalization think-tank that merged with the Drug Policy Foundation to form the Drug Policy Alliance, which supports drug legalization, and “medical” marijuana.

The Drug Policy Alliance describes itself as "the nation's leading organization working to end the war on drugs." Along with its major donor George Soros, it helped to produce It’s Just a Plant, a pro-marijuana book aimed at pre-teens. The book begins with eight-year-old Jackie discovering her parents smoking a joint. Her mom promises to explain about marijuana the next day. The next morning, they go off on their bikes to meet "Farmer Bob" who grows marijuana (the book forgets to mention that this is a criminal activity). Farmer Bob explains that marijuana is used for many purposes, including getting high. "What do you do with the flowers?" asks young Jackie. "People eat them and smoke them. Can you believe that?" says Bob. "Some people say marijuana makes them feel happy. Others say it's 'dreamy.' Actually, the flower has different effects on different people who try it: artists, doctors, teachers, writers, scientists, even presidents," he explains. The book goes on from there to make marijuana use appear to be acceptable.
