1. That is probably a badge of honor...

she is a musician so that should put her in good company. The bust for oil is bogus BS.

7. Not all states have passed medical marijuana laws

They are working on it... I am so glad I live in California.

6. You can thank Sessions

for this. His policies are taking us back in time, not forward. And, it is at a time, when this country was definitely moving forward. Maybe someday, he'll listen to the people. Never mind, that's wishful thinking. He's an idiot.

8. This was happening long before Sessions

Its only been the last couple of years that states have been legalizing Medical Cannabis ..and a lot of states are not there yet. In the meantime The feds still have it listed as a schedule one drug and that's been that way for years.

9. North Dakota she better get a good lawyer

Someone may want to make a political name for themselves throwing that evil gay drug user into prison. Make an example....of her
