House GOP targets medical marijuana states
May 21, 2003 | WASHINGTON (AP) --
House Republicans are pressing for legislation that would strip federal anti-drug money from local police in states that have passed medical marijuana laws.
The overall legislation, which would keep the White House drug policy office in business for another five years, would also allow the office to run ads opposing medical marijuana initiatives.
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy said both provisions were initiated in Congress, but they clearly reflect the Bush administration's strong desire to strictly enforce marijuana laws. Federal law does not permit legalization for medical use, although eight states allow it.

Hey Republicans. Medical marijuana is for sick people, not for "evil" pot smokers like Fletch XXX.
