This is what happens when political leadership is lacking. Maijuana bu$ine$$ entrepreneurs are laughing all the way to the bank as they realize that political lame ducks won´t prevent them from making millions of dollars by getting people addicted to marijuana to the extent that the marijuana market is poised to grow faster than smartphones.

So, here we are folks – United States without drug policy leadership has paved the way for mass addiction to marijuana.
