She only wants money to go to drug warriors, not to any actual research into medical benefits.

So, yeah, she can piss off, too.

I wish these organizations would sue - but, afaik, you can't sue the govt., though they can come after you for using marijuana to deal with the trauma of one of Bush Jr's wars.

But I'm not sure. Maybe they can sue.

I think we need some lawyers to sue Congress for violating the 14th amendment:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.


It is unequal protection under the law for Washington D.C. to have legal medical marijuana while many states can still put someone in prison FOR LIFE for mere possession of marijuana under three strikes rules.
