24. No it doesn't crush it. It just slows the momentum a bit. Congress is starting to talk about

reclassifying it and legalizing medical marijuana. Statements like this from Obama or from any politician doesn't help speed the momentum any. And unfortunately for those of us dealing with this at a state level we are dealing with capitalists trying to force patients buy from the recreational businesses rather than medical coops or dispensaries. Of course no matter what happens at the political level there will always be people growing and using marijuana. Nothing they have done so far in the past decades has stopped it, and they certainly are not going to stop it now or in the future either.
