The CVS pharmacy chain announced earlier that they would no longer be selling tobacco products, which caused Obama to wave the health pom poms.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s tweet about his confusion as to the reaction of some drew a strong response:
@marcorubio It makes perfect sense. One IS a free market decision (CVS) and the other should be a free market decision (marijuana).

@marcorubio You're an elected official that's supposed to understand free market principles. Get it together, Rubio. #generaleconomics

@marcorubio CVS can sell whatever it wants. It's not trying to make it illegal. #MakesSenseIfYouThinkForTwoSeconds

@marcorubio stop being a puppet and get real, pot hasn't kill anyone ever. Alcohol kills 200,000 tobacco: 400,00 just in America #stopit

.@marcorubio That has to be the dumbest thing I've read about pot. CVS does things voluntarily, the gov puts people in cages. Big difference
