you people sure are getting worked up over very little. First off the article itself is very unsubstantial as it comes from the works of Whitley Strieber and co. Sure it is probably a legit news story but there are very few details, the report itself is only a paragraph long.

What I would like to know is the facts they didn't mention such as; what medical condition exists today that would make a person dependent on marijuana for their life. As far as I know there is no such "illness" so we take a look deeper.

So the court decided that they would let a citizen "die at the cost of the federal legislation" yet they never said what happened or how she would die. After all what would they do that would "let" her die? - pull the plug on her vaporizer maybe?
