California Court: Woman Who Is Kept Alive by Marijauna Can Face Federal Drug Charges


www.foxnews.com

SAN 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.

This is yet another article that discusses how the Feds will take a dying woman to court to keep her from smoking marijuana while at the same time turning their back to 20 million illegal citizens running a muck in our country. Seriously what is the greater threat?

What motivates the FED to pursue these cases when they know damn well that marijuana is not that harmful.

What this comes down to is taxation and which formula makes big business/US Government(they are 1 and the same) more money. The answer of course is

Millions of cheap/illegal labor + heavy offenses on soft crimes/drugs = cheap/controllable work force.

The less rights for the individual worker/legal American the better!

@#$% the FED!
