S.D. Judge Hands Victory To MMJ Advocates |
Posted by CN Staff on December 07, 2006 at 06:18:50 PT By Jeff McDonald, Union-Tribune Staff Writer Source: San Diego Union Tribune San Diego, CA -- A Superior Court judge refused to overturn California's medical marijuana laws yesterday, upholding last month's preliminary ruling that rejected San Diego County's lawsuit against the state. Judge William R. Nevitt Jr. ruled that state law enforcement officials are not obligated to arrest and prosecute people who violate federal laws. The ruling favored the state and a handful of patients and advocacy groups that joined the case after it was filed early this year. The final ruling was welcome news to lawyers and patient advocates who support medical marijuana. The case has been closely watched from Sacramento to Washington, D.C., for its obvious political implications. “The victory here saves state medical marijuana laws from an ill-founded and unsupported attack,” said Adam Wolf, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union in Santa Cruz, which co-defended the case. The state Compassionate Use Act was adopted in 1996 after 56 percent of California voters approved a medical-marijuana initiative. Marijuana remains illegal under federal drug laws.

to look a lot like christmas here in MI. The snow is fallin, it's getting frigidly cold. It's actually kind of nice though. Nice time to sit inside a warm, cozy house with friends and family. Smoke a smooth, green one and talk about old times. God do I love the christmas season. [ Post Comment ] |

Gotta love that news headline. And to think, covering cannabis without a pot pun or tongue-in-cheek stoner referance. Think I just might savor it for a minute; its so tasty, kinda peppery! Now gimme more to chew on journalistas :)

We're SO lucky our power didn't go out like hundreds of thousands other Missourians last week. We were stuck at home for a couple of days but that was just fine and dandy. The Reverend Bud Green [ Post Comment ] |

The woodstove is cranking out a lot of heat and we are enjoying this day too. It's about 20 now and going down a little more. The air feels clean and crisp. I love it. [ Post Comment ] |

Dank, I think you missed the point. It is already in town and, guess what, the word is out. Now let's see whether this movie is a money maker---I bet it is. Beautiful snowy cold day here in WVA. Nice time to chill out by the fire. [ Post Comment ] |

Merced seems to suggest they will, but now the burden is further on them to disturb the ruling, and if they do appeal and lose it leaves them no further avenue but to petition the US supreme court. [ Post Comment ] |
