“I actually think this is great embodiment of what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis called ‘the laboratories of democracy,'” Cruz said. “If the citizens of Colorado decide they want to go down that road, that’s their prerogative. I don’t agree with it, but that’s their right."

--Ted Cruz at CPAC.

Does anybody think Bush or Rand will be president? Most people would rather eat rat poison.

So I'm assuming no activist federal judges will strike down state laws on marijuana and it's all fine and dandy with the Ruling Class.

Now state constitutional amendments upholding and defining traditional marriage...bad state, baaaaad state Mommy says no-no.

...the federal ban on medical marijuana...
Oh, there's more...

Industrial Hemp Profile
Hemp and Marijuana
The confusion between industrial hemp and marijuana is based on the visual similarities of widely differentiated varieties of plants. By definition, industrial hemp is high in fiber and low in active tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that makes some cannabis varieties a valued drug. Canada and the European Union maintain this distinction by strictly regulating the THC levels of industrial hemp, requiring it to be less than 0.3 percent, compared to THC levels of between 3 to 30 percent in marijuana.*
Though smoking industrial hemp would result in no psychological effects, THC could be extracted by means of solvent extraction using butane other solvents. This process produces a more concentrated source of TCH and a more “intense” high. Even so the process can be quite dangerous due to the often flammable nature of the solvents. Using industrial hemp for the production of hash oil would be highly inefficient and time consuming.
Most pro-hemp initiatives in the United States are now focused on defining and distinguishing between industrial hemp and marijuana. Some pro-hemp supporters would like to move the control of U.S. hemp production from the DEA to the USDA. Proponents of legalizing hemp also argue that new technology to distinguish THC levels both in the field and from the air will allow for adequate production enforcement.

A tip for American farmers: Grow hemp, make money
Nope. It's because U.S. policy is finally acknowledging that hemp can help restore our agricultural economy, play a key role in dealing with climate change and, best of all, allow American family farmers to get in on a hemp market that, just north of us in Canada, is verging on $1 billion a year.

I have no objection to medical use of marijuana, only to the 60s-70s docs who will (for a fee) prescribe it for a hangnail.
