This past weekend, organizers of the Mass-Can concert series led their annual rally for the legalization of marijuana. Accompanied by a few area grunge bands and the pathetic Howard Stern-airing WBCN, self-styled libertarians from around the state descended on the Boston area to tout their god-given right to smoke pot.

Currently, it is the world's best-selling prescription drug. Analysts expect the three manufacturers together to spend some $300 million to tout their products...
