Justice Stevens is a punk....

So, I like this...

In the court's main decision, Justice Stevens raised concerns about abuse of marijuana laws. "Our cases have taught us that there are some unscrupulous physicians who overprescribe when it is sufficiently profitable to do so," he said.


Like this is reason to prevent sick people from their meds. I sense a twinge of irony when think of all the giant pharmaceutical companies who regularly pitch their high-priced (and sometimes dangerous) pills to doctors and hospitals - often supplying material kickbacks in the process.

Have some hypocrisy with your ruling, Justice Stevens?

Let's face it. It's the difference between a solution you can grow for next to nothing - or one that you have to pay through-the-nose for to some corporation. Never mind the other commercial benefits this plant has that might effect many self-important bottom lines. Can you say oil, textile and paper interests?

I knew you could.
