medical No state charges will be filed against a man who claimed he grew 38 marijuana plants in his garden for medical reasons. The San Bernardino County district attorney's office informed local police last week that it would not prosecute David Fawcett.

Authorities determined that Fawcett was meeting conditions of Proposition 215, the state measure that allows people to have marijuana if a doctor states they need it for medical purposes, prosecutor Richard Maxwell said.

It still has to be tried in California...
Something that garners between 73-85% of popular support will inevitably lead to some jury nullification...hint - when the citizen jurists of California exercise their RIGHT to DESSENT and judge the LAW as well as the accused, it will come, a might swift end to damnable prohibition.

don'tcha love double jeopardy???
i'm a native and citizen of california...i'm not so sure i
want to add U.S. citizenship...that pile of marble over 3000
miles away is inflicting cruel and unusual punishment on
californians...ya think running the FBI and the federal
attorneys out of california might be a good idea?

(think about the boston tea party, 3000 miles from london...)
