"The local laws is what matters neways because most pot cases under a certain amount go to state/local courts. For the growers, hey if Bush is arresting sick people for smoking pot while theres a war to fight........ theres a problem."
Medical marijuana is NOT against State law in states that have passed laws to authorize the growing, use and possession of medical marijuana. Accordingly, in California, which has a medical marijuana law, the local and state courts have NO juridiction on the issue (medical marijuana but they do on non medical uses) once it is shown to comply with the requirements of these laws by having a valid scrip it will be thrown out. That is why in the State of California it is HIGHLY IMPROBABLE that the State's DEMOCRATIC Attorney General would even consider prosecuting such a case. After an initial investigation shows that you have a valid prescription and are otherwise in compliance with the State and local laws here it would just simply be thrown out.
HOWEVER, that being said, it doesn't matter at all right now that the State/local laws in California allow medical marijuana because Federal Law over-rides State/local law AND the Bush administration and his Gestapo of a Lieutenant, John Ashcroft, have made "medical marijuana" one of the priorities right along with putting an end to Oregon's assisted suicide law for the terminally ill at this point in time. So much for the concept of States' Rights!!! They prosecute their cases right in Federal Court which ABSOLUTELY DOES have jurisdiction. So they could care less about your scrip from an MD. In fact it won't even be allowed in the arguments for your defense because the reason for your possession is completely irrelavant to Federal law. It CAN NOT even be considered as a "mitigating circumstance" when determining your punishment under Federal sentencing guidelines. Marijuana, by the way, is a Federal Schedule I drug meaning that it has NO valid or legitimate medical use and therefore CAN NOT be prescribed for ANY reason by a physician. So by definition and in accordance with Federal law, a scrip is INVALID PERIOD, end of discussion. The Judge and Jury will never even know anything other than the fact that you were in possession of marijuana against Federal law and you WILL be convicted without question if the Feds choose to prosecute you. Accordingly, no mention of medical marijuana will even be allowed into court records. And the fact that this administration IS putting sick people i.e. users in jail right along with the growers and is aggressively pursuing it right now speaks to the fact that there IS a problem. And that problem is all of the fascist in your face right wing religious republicaNAZIs that are trying to legislate their christian fundimentalist morality, force it down the throats of EVERYONE ELSE and control all aspects of YOUR personal life to save you from your misguided self. And they are doing it to you under the full force of the LAW!!
And I have heard Justice Department Attorneys AND officials actually say that Marinol is available and approved by FDA and, therefore, by definition IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE for nausea control, if prescribed properly in accordance with the law and accepted medical practice. So that is the ONLY choice--use it or tough shit!!! And they don't care if you can't hold it down in your stomach long enough to get ANY benefit from it because you are having projectile vomitting from chemotherapy or HIV medications!!! They also don't care that by smoking marijuana for controlling nausea bypasses the obvious problem pathway as it goes directly into your blood from inhaling it into your lungs instead of swallowing it and sending it through your digestive system. They also don't care that the effect of inhaling it as smoke provides almost INSTANT relief and that swallowing it requires something like TWO HOURS in your digestive tract before it even starts to take effect, that is IF you can even hold it down THAT long. IT DOES NOT MATTER TO THEM. That is a fact!!! THEY DO NOT CARE. They are sworn to uphold the law, no matter how egregious or misguided. They did not legislate it, they just ENFORCE IT. Just like the HIV retro virus, which invades and takes over the key portions of the host cell, the right wing christian fundimentalist republicaNAZIs have invaded and completely taken over the controlling components of the machinery of the government and are using it to THEIR christian fundimentalist moral fascist ends.
And yeah, I have a BIG problem with the government legislating morality (last place I want to hear morality from is from a fucking politician!) and controlling people's personal lives. It was also the republicaNAZIs that made AAS schedule III and removed them from the auspices of the FDA and put them directly under the control of the DEA AND criminalized (which means a prison sentence is affixed, possible and LIKELY) their use, possesion, etc. without valid medical reason and prescription.
It was also the republicaNAZIs that in putting AAS as schedule III also put the heat on physicians so that most are afraid to prescribe them even for valid medical cause or if they do, they may not be willing to prescribe a sufficient amount to adequately treat the diagnosed and qualifying condition. FEW PHYSICIANS are likely to want to loose their DEA prescription license for controlled substances (which also includes schedule II, etc.) AND risk Federal Prison for ANY reason. The incredible nightmarish hassles of an investigation alone would make it not worth the risk, frankly.
And it was the Bush administration, in their fight against assisted suicide for the terminally ill, that removed the commonly prescribed medications and made them Federal Schedule I and in so doing, also deprived people with narcolepsy and certain sleeping disorders from the MOST effective medications available to help them with their specific sleep disorders. These things can NO LONGER be prescribed as Schedule I, by definition has NO valid medical use. Period!!! Thank you John Ashcroft!!! SIEG HEIL!!!
It was a republicaNAZI administration, some may remember, that prosecuted and imprisoned Walter Jekot, MD of Los Angeles for improperly "importing" AAS in order to study their effects on AIDS patients, early on in the HIV epidemic, with serious wasting issues--he received five years in Federal Prison for that. He made the "dangerous" observation that guys that used steroids like recreational bodybuilders typically did better than people that did not. The difference was STRIKING. So he tried to set up a medical study but also realized that some of the foreign steroids were better than those available in the U.S. That was his mistake!!! And it was his "importing" of the drugs for the study that got him nailed as he did not follow correct FDA and DEA administrative paperwork protocal in order to accomplish this legally although he did this out in the open. See what NOT HAVING YOUR PAPERS IN ORDER can do to you with the fascist republicaNAZIS?
Their answer to everything under the sun that they don't agree with seems to be HARSH prison sentences to force compliance OR ELSE!!! And you can thank all the assholes on here that voted and still vote for republicaNAZI assholes. I just hope that one day while sitting in prison for growing for personal use, or using or possessing medical marijuana or possession of AAS without a valid scrip and a qualifying medical condition, etc., some of the assholes that voted for the republicaNAZIs finally make the connection of how the republicaNAZIs improved THEIR quality of life while they rot for years in Federal Prison!!!!!!!!
