Court Rules Against Pot for Sick People

The problem is clear! There’s not enough lobbying money working for Mary Jane in DC.

Why do federal authorities want to prosecute medical marijuana users, anyway? Will reducing the demand for medical marijuana end the drug trade?

I don’t even know where to go with this post. The absurdity is mind bending.
