DON'T CALL POT MEDICINE

The overwhelming amount of copy expressing compassion for the
weed-demanding terminally ill that's crammed into NOW is truly touching.

But really, how stupid do you think people are? It's blatantly clear that
the ill are being used by the pot lobby to achieve their objective of
making it widely accessible for all. Sadly, on some level, it's working.

Ultimately, it's very difficult to argue with a magazine that's convinced
tobacco is unhealthy because it's sold by greedy multinational capitalist
pigs. And that with pot the negative effects diminish. Just don't call that
crap a "medicine." That word is reserved for things that cure, not numb.
