Federal authorities may prosecute sick people whose doctors prescribe marijuana to ease pain

Uh. If they're gonna be fucktards about it anyway, shouldn't that read that the *doctors* will be prosecuted as well? It amazes me that it's ok to spend billions on synthesizing drugs that serve no decent purpose save luxury (ahem: Rogaine, let's say), yet it's illegal to use a natural drug that actually works on a variety of problems. But hey, it's alright to use the innocuous parts of the same plant to make butt-ugly clothing! Whoopee!

Or the "boner drugs".... ugh (sorry, don't need it personally!)

Of course, this all goes back to the 1930's when a machine was invented that rapidly separated the hemp plant, alongside the first patents on synthetic fibers, which people like Dupont wanted to corner the market on.

Heh. I was gonna point the finger at the boner drugs but I just ranted on them not too long ago, so instead I went with another branch of drugs aimed at soothing the aging male ego. ;)

Yeah, Dupont. Don't get me started. Although they make a polymer coat for etching plates that makes me walk funny it gets me so hot. Mmmm, Image-On.
