Happy 420 From Garfunkel And Oates

On April 14, the state of Arizona started accepting applications from people hoping to qualify for a state issued medical marijuana identification card.  So far, states like California, Washington, and Oregon have made qualifying for a "weed card" much easier than the lawmakers in Arizona.  To qualify in Arizona, you practically have to be dieing.  There are a very short list of medical conditions that qualify for prescription pot, including Multiple Sclerosis, certain types of cancer, and HIV.  Unlike all other states that have approved medical marijuana, Tourette's Syndrome, which I have, is not a covered condition.  For the record, I've never even taken a toke from a joint, but I wouldn't be surprised if it really helped control my tics.

To celebrate 4/20, satirists Garfunkel and Oates have released a video for 'Weed Card', a song explaining the "difficulties" in getting a medical marijuana card in California.
