Is it a coincidence that 4/20 falls during Earth Week, when everyone is encouraged to "go green"? And is it a coincidence that the D.C. Council decided to unanimously pass a bill to decriminalize medical marijuana on 4/20?
Either way, cannabis for the chronically ill is another step closer to becoming legal in the nation's capital. Reports the Washington Post:
"Without debate, the council authorized five medical marijuana distribution centers throughout the city, a number that could grow to eight in coming years. A patient who has HIV, glaucoma, cancer or a "chronic and lasting disease" will be able to receive a doctor's recommendation to possess up to 2 ounces of marijuana in a 30-day period."

I just don't see why this is even an issue. If folks want to smoke weed, whether they are sick or not, let them smoke some dam weed. If cigarettes, which carry known carcinogens AND addictive additives, are legal, why not weed?
Where are all the libertarians now? Live and let live. 420 forever!
