Congress approves medical marijuana? … wait for it …

I got pretty excited for a minute when I read the breathless news from Liberty Counsel reported on CNW:

… liberals in Congress have nonetheless passed a $768 million dollar Financial Services Appropriations bill š without allowing debate š that will force taxpayers to pay for the destruction of innocent human life in the District of Columbia. Additionally, the bill š which President Obama supports š would legalize medical marijuana, fund a needle exchange program to provide intravenous drug addicts with clean needles to continue injecting illicit and often deadly drugs, eliminate money previously allocated for a drug prevention campaign…

Still…
Too bad about taxpayers funding the prohibition apparatus that keeps killing innocents in the drug war, but the rest of that sounded pretty good. Why haven’t I heard that much about his in other sources?
Ah, it turns out the Liberty Counsel isn’t a libertarian group, the CNW is the Christian News Wire, and the legalized medical marijuana is merely about lifting the ban that prevents DC residents from voting on it for their district.
