Preparing to Use Medical Marijuana?

NY Times' coverage of the Supreme Court deliberations and the context of the case, which we have already blogged to death, is pretty good, but the constitutional subtlety is mind numbing, as seen in this Christian Science Monitor piece. Hey, cut to the chase: here's the Marijuana Policy Project briefing, this is a link to the IOM report, and this is what the Court said on this matter the last time the Bush administration came knocking.

If the ruling works out, it's on sale at Target. Only 4-8 weeks to get it when you order now. Or click "add to my wish list," dude.
