Feds pose challenge to use of medical marijuana in WA

I find that while some states are seemingly getting the picture about medical use of cannabis, that the Feds are stomping all over state given rights. Is it the Bush administration? Why? Why waste federal time and money prosecuting a supposed crime that does not hurt people, and in fact helps sick people? I keep seeing these ad on TV that say pot use supports terrorism, and certainly I'd even understand the point (if not the actions), but the people mentioned in this article and the people who got arrested in Santa Cruz grew there own. That doesn't give money to terrorists. It makes no sense. I'd like to dig deeper into why the Feds keep doing these jackass arrests. If anyone can point me in the right direction to find the answers, please let me know.

jeb's perfectly healthy daughter's crack use is treated as a family problem. (as it should be)

smoking pot to alleviate pain or stimulate an appetite by the terminally ill however is a prisonworthy transgression.
(utter insanity)

but we shouldn't notice that. instead, failing news of clinton's genetalia we will be treated to a new distraction in the form of high tech bombing runs on the current designated enemy. (who's arsenal of nerve gas and anthrax was provided by bush the elder)
