A great quote

"I know the people of Washington state didn't want lawyers and judges and prosecutors arguing about little piddly details like this," Hiatt said. "Is the person sick? Yes. Are they using it with a doctor's permission? Yes. Then leave them alone." From this article.

What the article fails to address is the question of whether the government has the constitutional authority to regulate marijuana at all.

Which, of course, it does not.

And because we allow it this level of control, people who truly need the drug must suffer some politician's notion of how much is enough.

The mind boggles.
