Souder and Fury Signifying Nothing
The best part of the debate over the Hinchey Amendment (roll call here) isn’t in the Washington Post’s account.
Representative Souders of Indiana told this story of died from the effects of MDMA after her friends decided that the best way to treat her was not to take her to a hospital, but rather to give her marijuana.
And they did this, according to Souders, because they heard marijuana was medicinal.
Now, I’ve heard Advil is medicinal. If I give it to someone who’s bleeding to death, should we ban that too?
Whatever Souders is smoking, I want some.
A shoutout to the 54 Democrats who voted No on this amendment - I don’t ever again want to be accused of not caring about sick people by Democrats when I disagree with their healthcare policies.
