Nate:
I was referring to the Feds threatening physicians with loss of their
DEA licenses and jail time for telling patients that marijuana may
help them.  This isn't a Libertarian issue -  this is a free speech
issue plain and simple.  And - not only is it a free speech issue - it
is a critical free speech issue.  Or - perhaps you think that
physicians should check with the DEA before they tell anyone their
medical opinions to make sure they're "politically correct" ?
