Answer 1

The Drug Enforcement Agency raids medical marijuana dispensaries in states (especially California) where medical marijuana has been approved. This prohibits those patients from doing what they want to do.

Answer 2

The list is endless, but the worst thing is when the government sets up elections so that the people in a certain state can't vote for the government they want, like using regulations to reject people at the polls who are 'felons' just because their name is similar to someone who is a felon, or closing the polls at 6:00 in a town where everyone works at one factory until 5:30, and the polls are an hour away.
Regulations: hmm. How about the laws in most states that make it illegal for people to go to a farm and buy raw milk, even though it is more nutritious and better for the local economy than pasteurized milk.
A good article to read is "Everything I Want to Do is Illegal" by Joel Salatin.

The government also says it is illegal for us to do any commerce with Cuba, even though they are our neighbors, and we have a military base on their soil, just because a bunch of paranoid Republicans think Castro is the anti-corporate Christ or something. We could learn a lot about community, medicine, and disaster relief from Cuba.
