GOD'S PLANT

Regarding "Medical pot push driven by profit":

Speaking as a lobbyist/advocate for law enforcement in Congress, 
Douglas MacKinnon sounds like a lobbyist for Big Pharma.

In attacking a competitive product - God's green plant - he protects 
the billions in profits that those wonderful pills generate.

God didn't make junk. Marijuana is a low-cost, low-side-effect and 
highly effective medicine for millions of people.

My colleagues need to accept and even embrace it.
