Makes me sick.
The Drug War is on autopilot. This serves no purpose to deny her her medication. They follow the Drug War rules without even thinking about the real outcome or real consequences. They're not saving anyone with their War. On the contrary they are hurting people. This should not be an issue at this point in time anymore. WAKE UP POLITICIANS!!
QuoteSAN 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.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070314/ap_on_he_me/medical_marijuanaI'm so confused. We had the Feds giving false hope by keeping Schiavo alive ignoring the Dr's who said there is no hope. And then we have the Feds taking away hope for someone who wants to live, ignoring the Dr's advice. Careless and dis compassionate. Come on!
