Marijuana Policy Project

We know how boring presiding over the House can be; it's something like having the batteries in the remote control go out when you're flipping past C-SPAN.

Well, the Marijuana Policy Project is here to help.

Now, as they pass the time in the cloakrooms between votes or preside over the chamber, members can get in a game of solitaire and bone up on their drug policy knowledge at the same time.

The Washington-based organization, led by government-relations director Aaron Houston, printed up a set of playing cards called "The Deal on Medical Marijuana: 52 Reasons Why You Should Support Medical Marijuana Access."

"Is it a gimmick? Sure," Houston said. "But when you don't have the resources the government has, there's nothing wrong with using a gimmick in service of the truth."
