This kind of crap just simply pisses me off! 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.


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070314/...ical_marijuana

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."

Just another example of how the war on drugs is one of the biggest wastes of money in our nations history.

Actually, it's more of an example of how absolutely ****ed up the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is.

In addition to a bushel full of whacked up ADA rulings, they're the lovely folks who declared the Pledge of Allegiance illegal in public schools.

Bob Dole didn't live in Russell for the last 25 years of his career. Him and that gimp hand act of his were pure theatre.

What's odd to me is that this issue hasn't gone away yet. If the majority of today's prominent lawmakers were born from 1940-1960 (safe assumption?), then those people would likely have been around marijuana in their lives and have some first hand knowledge about it. Realistically, I have to think that most of today's state legislators have gotten high a time or two and would know that it's relatively harmless, certainly no more harmful than alcohol. I find it all very strange.
