netcom auto-newgrouped these and a bunch of other bogus "cannabis"
groups because of the (lamely) forged newgroup commands that the
meow brigade sent out a few days ago.  Reading any political stand
into it is sheerest lunacy.  All it really proves is they are way
overdue to install PGP checking in their newgroup bot...

My guess is those groups will be gone again from netcom's spool shortly.
