"Congress quietly ends federal government's ban on medical marijuana"
...
'"The war on medical marijuana is over," said Bill Piper, a lobbyist with the Drug Policy Alliance, who called the move historic.

"Now the fight moves on to legalization of all marijuana," he said. "This is the strongest signal we have received from Congress [that] the politics have really shifted. ... Congress has been slow to catch up with the states and American people, but it is catching up."'

Incredible! I guess there's some benefit to the whole "we need to pass the bill to find out what's in it" thing after all! ;D

This took decades.... DECADES!...  of activism and fighting corrupt narco-politics.  It was not easy by any stretch of the imagination.
