So, one out of every 20,000 people is a medical marijuana grower?
Give me a break, even you can't think that's really true.

To be fair, the number of growers in CA has gotten ridiculous.

Wow, talk about narrow vision.
He doesn't need to distract the specific persons in the "applicable states" - it's national news, the idea is to distract everyone.

You seem confused.
Federal law trumps state law (an extremely basic construct of our legal system) - the federal law says that marijuana isn't legal for medical use.
The concept of state sanctioned medical marijuiana is fairly recent - hence, they're not making criminals out of law abiding citizens, they where criminals already. The "medical marijuana" excuse just protected them from state prosecution.

Wow, talk about a laughable overdramatization.
I think you've been taking too many doses of your "medication".
