State and private lawyers trying to salvage California's medical marijuana law got no encouragement from a federal judge during a court hearing Friday. The session was the first on implementing a 2001 U.S. Supreme Court decision against Proposition 215, which sanctioned pot distribution and use for some Californians with cancer, AIDS and other serious ailments.U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said he will rule later. But he showed little interest when a lawyer representing the state argued that the 1996 initiative can be reconciled with a federal ban on pot for any purpose.

| According to a recent federal judge's decision "The Justice Department" has no authority to overturn Oregon's physician assisted suicide law. Explain to me then, how they have the authority to overturn California's medical marijuana initiative? Also, say I lived in Oregon and smoking cannabis was the only substance that prevented me from having thoughts of suicide, what would they rule on that one? Get government's law enforcement arm out of our bodies now! I celebrated 4/20 with some kind buds and watched the movie The Matrix for the first time finally! Prohibition is exactly like the Matrix. Hiding truth from humanity. And the DEA is just like those "Agents" in the movie. What a freak that movie put on the rest of my euphoric day. [ Post Comment ] |

| "I'm talking about the federal law," Breyer said. "I'm not talking about the state law."
Ok, so your state law doesnt matter because the feds say so? Thats basically whats he is saying...I know he hasnt issued a judgement yet, but considering his previous rulings and this comment, it looks like this one is headed to the supreme court as well. Let's face it...the system does not work..if we are going to change things, we are going to have to go outside the system..Like Hope said a few days ago, the older people always told us if we didnt like the laws, change them, and we have...and this is the response we get? Your puny laws dont matter because big brother says so..welcome to the new Demokracy. You know..if everyone who smoked planted their seeds instead of throwing them out, there's no way the government could control all the new plants..unless they want to start spraying roundup on U$ citizens like they do in Columbia, and at this point, I really dont think thats too far of a stretch for them to do.
