HEMP! HEMP! HORRAY!!

There are now 9 States that allow sick people to smoke pot with a doctor's recommendation. The Ashcroft Justice Department under Bush has argued that state medical marijuana laws were trumped by Federal drug laws.

A Federal Appeals Court has once again told Ashcroft and THE BUSH THE LESSER administration that they got it wrong. The Court stating that smoking marijuana on the advice of a doctor is "different in kind from drug trafficking," and that it was unconstitutional to prosecute medical marijuana users if the marijuana was not sold, transported across state lines or used for non medicinal purposes.

The case concerned two seriously ill California women who sued Attorney General John Ashcroft. They asked for a court order letting them smoke, grow or obtain marijuana without fear of federal prosecution.

Once again we see with THE LESSER'S administration the proof of P.J O'Rourke's observation: ANYWAY, NO DRUG, NOT EVEN ALCHOHOL, CAUSES THE FUNDAMENTAL ILLS OF SOCIETY. IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE SOURCE OF OUR TROUBLES, WE SHOULDN'T TEST PEOPLE FOR DRUGS, WE SHOULD TEST THEM FOR STUPIDITY, IGNORANCE, GREED AND LOVE OF POWER. These guys all test positive here!
