One of them intentionally deprives sick people of an almost completely harmless medicine that can dramatically improve their quality of life at an extremely low cost and extremely low danger relative to some of the alternatives?

Haha, just kidding! All of those people with MS are just faking it because they want to get high! It totally makes sense that we should call them felons! The fact that we are deploying deadly force to stop people from obtaining medicine is something that the president shouldn't ever address because it's really not that important.

There are a 100 issues as important as medical marijuana that he could have addressed. So what?

What he did was talk about the very biggest issues, all of which are objectively more important than medical marijuana. Have a little perspective.

So of those 100 issues, this specific one has come up time and time and time and time again and every single of those times he has dodged it.

It's noteworthy because people pretty obviously care about it, and it's unfair of him not to address it.

No, there's a noisy minority who care about it.
