Huh? Mr. President
When Clinton vetoed the Washington D.C. budget for a variety of reasons, including
its ban on medical marijuana, he sent this message to Congress, bureaucratically
titled: "DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2000--VETO MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 106-135) (House of Representatives - September
28, 1999)"
No, he never used the m-m words; He phrased it thus:
"--Controlled Substances. The bill would prohibit the District from legislating
with respect to certain controlled substances, in a manner that all States are free
to do."
Uh, the states are free to legalize medical marijuana. Right. And Clinton's Justice
Department is free to come into those states and arrest those who try to take advantage
of that legislation. I get it.
I guess this country is a whole lot freer than I thought!
