“Clarence Thomas says federal laws against marijuana may no longer be necessary!” blared the headline on the June 29, 2021, NBC News story. The item continued, “Clarence Thomas, one of the Supreme Court’s most conservative justices, said Monday that because of the hodgepodge of federal policies on marijuana, federal laws against its use or cultivation may no longer make sense.”
