Victory for Federalism on Medical Marijuana (and related to Raich)

[Earl Maltz]

I have no particular brief for the prohibition on marijuana use, but 
I see this not as a victory for federalism but for outright 
lawlessness.  But I think that instead of going after the sellers of 
marijuana, they should go after the doctors who write the bogus 
prescriptions for aiding and abetting.   Then it would stop.
