not cool

"We will not turn a blind eye to serious and flagrant disregard of federal law," said a DEA agent. He wasn't kidding. No sooner did the Supreme Court say that federal law overruled California law permitting the use and distribution of medical marijuana, then the DEA jumped into action, along with the IRS and the Secret Service, to search medical marijuana dispenseries, growing sites and people's houses. They hauled off plants, made quite a few arrests and indicted a doctor and her husband from—no kidding—Cool, Calif., for dealing.
Way to go men, nail those sicko potheads. Not like the country has any other problems that could use a little manpower. Like, let's say, the thousands of meth labs in red states. Or the foundering economy and moribund society that created them. It's just a baby step after all from smoking marijuana when you have cancer to gay marriage, and you've got to draw the line somewhere. This is America. In pain? Have a nice slice of apple pie and sleep it off.
Why I can't stop today: Soon smoking anything will be illegal.

Smoking is cool. Everyone has got it all wrong...you look cool, you act cool, you smell cool, you breathe cool, and you die cool. What could be cooler?
