Congress will be justifiably scorned as a pathetic bunch of losers if this is the best they can do before the 2018 mid-terms.
After reading columns like this, it's starting to become more clear to me why Steve Bannon left the White House. He didn't do it because he thought he could have more influence over White House policy decisions from the outside. He did it because he's going to be spending the next 12+ months exposing Congress as the useless, ineffective @ssholes they are.
Only if they want to continue deceiving people. "Medical" marijuana was never about sick people. It was never about helping people. It was never about compassion. It was all about making pot socially acceptable to pave the way for it's legalization everywhere. It was all about removing the social stigma of getting stoned. Anyone who advocates "medical" marijuana is either knowingly or unknowingly carrying the water of hardcore leftists who want to destroy America.
Why should it be “legalized” when under the current system users of pot will be paid for by non-users.
If pot is declared to be a medication, will I be able to get a one month supply from the Wal Mart pharmacy for $10?
As a medical marijuana patient here in Florida I think this is a great idea!
More constitutional freedom is always better than less.
Oh goody more crap from another hack

Who are they trying to trick into voting for a RINO with this diversion?
There are already 2 cannabis-based drugs approved by the FDA. They’re rarely prescribed by doctors because patients complain about the adverse reactions (and probably because they can’t smoke it).
These are the only drugs approved by the FDA where every single person in a clinical trial suffered adverse reactions. It’s hard to imagine they could be approved today, but who knows.
Considering that marijuana contains more carcinogens than tobacco, and that it affects your mind causing loss of memory and schizophrenia, its hard to understand why anyone wants to increase access to this.
In 1860, New York City made cannabis illegal, but opium and heroin were kept legal. Makes you wonder.
Weeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaakkkk. Most Governorships are up, I guess this fool doesn't care. 10 rat Senators up in states Trump won and a chance to bust out of this disgustly narrow majority that can't even repeal Obamacare.
And this clown is talking about medical marijuana? Medical? The debate has moved passed that to full legalization. Thanks to medical getting it's foot in the door, by falsey claiming that weed is damn panacea.
You mean, like the author? If you are going to make a 10th amendment argument then you can't make the distinction between medical and recreational marijuana use. Such a distinction isn't in the 10th.
