CLEARING THE CONFUSION

Your medical marijuana editorial helps clear some of the confusion of
the Supreme Court case. The case is not (or should not be) about
medical cannabis. It is about the federal domain over something that
is wholly intrastate.

If the justices are ethical, they will stick to their opinions of federal
jurisdiction regardless of the subject matter.

Though the country is swinging toward medical cannabis, the FDA refuses to
evaluate it despite endorsement by federal DEA judges, the surgeon general,
IOM report and other federal agencies.

Reefer madness does appear to be a real thing -- just look at our drug
policies.
