What do Kermit the Frog, the Incredible Hulk and Yoda all have in common, besides being green? Disney will soon have the exclusive rights to exclaim one of the most referenced movie lines of all time, “May the force be with you”.

Citizens in North America have come to expect their governments getting their knickers in a twist over marijuana.
