Cannabis Coalition

Description

Josh unleashes the Cannabis Coalition's name like a grenade in the Oval Office maelstrom, pinning them as shock troops defending Surgeon General Griffith against committee barrages from Judiciary, Oversight, and Appropriations. Thrust into Bartlet's sarcasm-soaked briefing alongside stoner kin like Friends of Mary Jane, they embody pro-marijuana fervor rallying to shield her bold legalization push—forging absurd alliances that coil political absurdity around presidential fury and familial betrayal.
