4. FREE ED NOW!
there are for profit prisons? didn't know that.....wow


Anyways, Marijuana is misclassified by the FDA as a schedule 1 drug, which means it has no medicinal use at all. And since even our own government and the pharm companies they love are actively testing marijuana for those uses they should just reclassify it and leave all the pot heads alone.

But the sad truth is that 215 isn't worth the paper it's printed on as long as Federal Law supersedes State Law, and Federal Law says marijuana is illegal. That's why medicinal gardens get raided every year in California, thousands of plants destroyed, and thousands of patients without their allotted medication. Imagine if the federal government said that you couldn't refill your Prozac or Oxcotin cause they hadn't busted anyone in a while and it was hurting their self esteem.

I believe that Federal law concerning marijuana is wrong, but unfortunately the federal Judge was Right in his ruling. It's not up to a federal judge to change the federal law or rule against that law, only to interpret and carry it out. We have to look to the Legislature for that, but, you see how well they're doing so far against 5 years of propaganda for a war, I don't know if they can handle something that's been half a century in the making.... Still until they do, when federal agencies bring medical marijuana growers to federal court, growing marijuana is a crime no matter what California says. If he were a state judge, he could have thrown it out.
