I sure wish they would hurry up and make it legal before I die! We enjoyed it a lot on weekends in college 1960s, 1970s. It is a lot less harmful than alcohol and cigarettes, which we are forced to substitute for it. I loved it! But only on weekends, no driving or going out, no small children around. And we didn't get stoned out of our gourds. Couldn't afford it.

The federal government wasting time and resources trying to bust doctors for perscribing pot Doctors have no authority to prescribe pot. It is not a medicine.

I agree with you 100%...

YOU ARE RIGHT!

Doctors have no authority to prescribe pot. It is not a medicine. It is in California. The law's the law.

Forget the drugs, they don't do anything good and are not a conservative choice of any kind. But to choose what you do with you own body by yourself is conservative, and according to the common law, which is decidedly conservative.

It is in California. The law's the law. Please look up the law. Or, at least, read the article. Doctors do NOT prescibe marijuana. It is not a medicine.

Technically correct. But a distinction that is not a differance.
In Ca doctors recomend MJ. It is then legal under state law to use. The federal laws are unconstitutional and are happily ignored by all (including the local cops).

Exactly. And the courts ruled that the Feds cannot punish doctors for recommending medical marijuana. The Supreme Court declined to hear the Feds appeal. Ashcroft is in violation, hence the restraining order.

For even fuller disclosure, a political philosophy (i.e., the needs of society outweigh individual liberty) shared by liberals like Hillary Clinton and Drug Warriors alike.

It doesn't matter if I like the law or not. The law is still the law and setting a precedent is a bad idea. We know how much courts and attorneys like precedents. Indeed. From George Washington's farewell address:
"If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield."
On this issue, the sidestepping of the law and setting of precedent started with FDR and the New Deal.

Whatever you constitutional law experts say.That's exactly what I am...unlike you.
To: William Terrell
But to take that choice to use illegal drugs is a totally liberal cause.
To claim there is no morality so immorality can be imposed is HUMANISM!
