Rudy: Oxy Yes, Weed No

Here's a report that Rudy Giuliani is against cancer sufferers using medicinal marijuana:

Q: "You talked about abortion rights and how you trust people to make their own choices. Do you support the choice of cancer patients to use medical marijuana?"
Rudy: "No, I don't think a cancer patient should use marijuana. There are other options."

So, what happened to the Giuliani who was hired by the maker of Oxycontin in 2002, and spent basically five years advocating against "obstacles to access faced by many patients who need these medications to treat" cancer and other illnesses, despite widespread abuse and addiction caused by the prescription painkiller?

If marijuana growers paid a consulting fee to Giuliani Partners LLC, would his answer be different?
