I find it interesting that a Republican is stepping back from the drug war.

I live in NY - we are trying to get a medical marijuana bill passed.

I haven't seen the bill yet, but I heard that it is very limited to the actual use of pot.

Perhaps getting pot down to schedule II will open up treatment for those that will benefit..

It doesn't help the recreational use scene at all. What can you do?

Peace and low stress..
