At least it is a step forward from the current state: "Cannabis is not broccoli and it is not allowed because it is forbidden".

BTW for the uninitiated: That's the actual quote from the former federal drug officer. No joke - we wished it was.

To be precise, that's two quotes by two different, consecutive federal drug officers. Mortler justified a cannabis ban with its status as an illegal drug, her successor Ludwig pointed out that cannabis isn't broccoli.
