The federal government would rather see their sick citizens suffer rather than be allowed to use the relatively safe God-given plant (see the first page of the Bible). The federal government is also against legalizing and regulating cannabis for responsible adults for other use but again they are going to be taken out of the equation because citizens are going to re-legalize the plant. Caging humans for using the God-given plant cannabis is one of North America's worst policy failures in history and it's about over. Citizens have had enough!
