American Hemp League

Description

Josh unleashes the American Hemp League's name into Oval Office chaos, aligning it with Cannabis Society, E Cannabis Unum, and Friends of Mary Jane as bizarre defenders surging to Surgeon General Griffith's barricade. They counter Judiciary, Oversight, and Appropriations committee assaults on her pro-marijuana stance, igniting Bartlet's sarcasm over a stoner-Christian alliance that fractures political norms and thrusts hemp advocates into White House crosshairs amid escalating scandal.
