Yep. That was kind of a surprise ruling. Isn't that the same problem, same person involved, as the casino petition?

Anyone have a link to proposed bill? I.can only seem to find recaps and such about it. Saying things like 6 plants, 2.5 ounces, employers can still discriminate for having.it in your system and it won't change medical laws... I'd like to read it and see for myself.
