May 2014

number of parents who have suddenly become ardent med. mj supporters after Gupta reported on the effects of mj for a variety of illnesses - some of which included small children.

Since then, state after state has had to look at the issue - so this would provide cover for the talibornagains in state legs who don't want to touch the issue.

If it passes quickly - okay. Get it to the people who need it.

But - like you - I'm pretty cynical about feds' desire to keep this cash cow of prohibition.
