It would be nice if the law allowed for a little empathy
 

This kind of crap just simply pisses me off! :cuss: Why don't they just go ahead and sentence her to prison since they obviously don't care if she even lives. And don't even get me started on states rights.

SAN FRANCISCO - A California woman whose doctor says marijuana is the only medicine keeping her alive is not immune from federal prosecution on drug charges, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.

The case was brought by Angel Raich, an Oakland mother of two who suffers from scoliosis, a brain tumor, chronic nausea and other ailments. On her doctor's advice, she eats or smokes marijuana every couple of hours to ease her pain and bolster a nonexistent appetite as conventional drugs did not work.

The Supreme Court ruled against Raich two years ago, saying that medical marijuana users and their suppliers could be prosecuted for breaching federal drug laws even if they lived in a state such as California where medical pot is legal.

Because of that ruling, the issue before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was narrowed to the so-called right to life theory: that marijuana should be allowed if it is the only viable option to keep a patient alive.

Raich, 41, began sobbing when she was told of the decision and said she would continue using the drug.

"I'm sure not going to let them kill me," she said. "Oh my God."

All religions should go through the state.


This would stop the illegal immigartion of pitbulls from state to state

Don't we have better things to do with our law enforcement?

All dopeheads should be sent to prison for life /Rush Limbaugh


.

Boy, I hope Mr. Limbaugh isnt ever really taken seriously. That would make those certain "times" so much less enjoyable.

She should try shark fishing

Why dont they just make Marijuana legal and tax the hell out of it?

Why don't they just make it legal and leave it the hell alone.

I really think it is a states rights issue and the feds should back off...I dunno how the supremes could say no to her but uphold the right to die law in oregon...seems very similar to me ...except the minor detail that the drugs in oregon are used to kill and in california to keep alive

:rolleyes:

everyone scatter ........ it's the cops
