Because of the government's continued efforts to prosecute medical marijuana patients despite a new Justice department enforcement policy, advocates are urging Members of Congress to pass HR 3939, the Truth in Trials Act, which would allow defendants to use a medical or state law defense in federal court. The Truth in Trials Act currently has more than 30 Congressional cosponsors.
This is an example of rogue government agencies, out of control. Despite the Obama Administration's stance, they continue to harass and arrest law biding citizens. This must end.

What is the point of having a leader, if the troops don't follow orders? If they don't follow orders, they need to be disciplined.
