Columbia- The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday night voted down the latest medicinal marijuana bill, which sought to keep residents of states that allow marijuana for medicinal purposes safe from federal raids.

The Hinchey Amendment was denied in a 262-165 vote, gaining two more votes of approval this summer, in its fifth try through the House.
Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y. plans to try again and will push this amendment next summer, said Jeff Lieberson, a spokesman for Hinchey.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
