The California Medical Association, the state’s largest doctor group, on Friday adopted a resolution to support the legalization of marijuana for medical uses, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The group’s support of medical marijuana comes after U.S. prosecutors in California threatened to seize the properties of licensed California marijuana dispensaries if they don’t close up shop within 45 days. U.S. attorneys in California have also threatened to target newspapers, radio stations and other media outlets that advertise for dispensaries.

As the states, science and society moves toward legalization, the federal government moves away from it, proposing even more draconian sanctions.

Yet another casualty of lobbying and special interests. How long is our Government going to continue to flushing our tax money down the Earth's toilet, bankrupt society fighting a war on a frigging plant? Sigh...
