Lansing— Fighting brain cancer was tough enough. Lori Montroy couldn't believe she also had to fight eviction.

3. um,,,,it's not a democracy. The USA was set up to allow $$ to rule

MMJ takes money out of the pockets of rich investors. The USA was set up to allow investors to maximize their profits. Until we address these underlying, fundamental issues, expect there to be outbreaks of mass injustice. Always has been the case here in america, and will likely will be the case.
