You guys really need to get over Prohibition. The joke has gone way too
far and it's infected the rest of us.

You got rid of alcohol Prohibition by a convocation of States. If there
are enough states willing to medicalise marijuana then maybe getting the
2/3 of states needed to overrule the feds is the way to go. It's not
like you;re short of lawyers or anything.
