yeehhaaawww....good to hear
keeko Reviewed by keeko on . Texas Patient Wins Landmark Acquittal in Medical Marijuana Case A Texas patient who uses medical marijuana to treat the symptoms of HIV won acquittal on marijuana possession charges March 25 based on a ??necessity defense.? Though such a defense - which requires the defendant to establish that an otherwise illegal act was necessary to avoid imminent harm more serious than the harm prevented by the law he or she broke - has rarely been successful in Texas, the jury took just 11 minutes to acquit Tim Stevens, 53. The trial was hotly contested. Stevens Rating: 5
