NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)President Obama is about to issue an executive order that would force all Americans to purchase a monthly supply of marijuana, the Fox News Channel reported today.
According to Foxs Sean Hannity, who broke the story, Obamas initiative is part of a broader plan to make weed available and affordable to every individual in the United States.
Under Obamas plan, every American would be required to purchase a government-mandated amount of marijuana per month or face a penalty of up to two thousand dollars.
Hannity said that the President hopes to have the mandatory marijuana plan up and running by 2015, but theyre still working on the Web site.
Appearing on Fox, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) took issue with Obamas recent remark that marijuana was no more dangerous than alcohol: I saw that as an insult.

As marijuana is a plant, and thereby either fruit or vegetable, where does it sit in the food-pyramid?
