Did you see where they have approved for the Pharmaceutical industry can make synthetic marijuana now? Pretty horrible that they allow them to make synthetic which is horrible, and deny regular marijuana.

There's a reason for that.  Synthetics can be patented.

Re: the second link.

Referring to Charles Koch as a Libertarian is an injustice to the philosophy.  Corporatist, fascist, or corporate fascist would be more accurate.
