Nevertheless, the Supreme Court made the correct decision when they announced their verdict. The question was not whether medical marijuana should be legal - which I clearly think it should. The issue was the legality of medical marijuana users being prosecuted under federal law even when states' laws permit such use. Being that federal law will always trump state law, the Court had no choice but to render the decision they made. Any other decision would've been the judiciary making a legislative action.

Personally, I think headlines such as "Supreme Court murders California man" do more harm than good to the legalization movement. It puts a bad face on things and casts an inappropriate shadow on the good we are trying to accomplish.
well with all due respect, the Supreme Court upheld the law, true. but what did they do to try and change it? See, it's the same principle as saying you're not responsible for something just because you were ordered to do it. Kinda like nazi generals being shocked because of their war convictions since hitler ordered them to do the holocaust.

It's all a matter of beuracreacy. The democrats blame the republicans but ignore their own faults. and vice versa.

medical marijuana has been proven time and time again to be beneficial. it's being supressed to make profit. and i think headlines like that are just what we NEED. we need more attention grabbing headlines like that on serious investigative journalist channels. Noone who erroneously disapproves of cannabis is going to be interested in a headline that reads "Medical Marijuana advocate passes away"

In due time, i hope the members of the supreme court who voted against state jurisdiction feel shame for what theyve done.



I'm going to smoke a blunt tonight and dedicate it to this guy. I hope he's in a better place where the bud is so potent it's purple.



let's roll.
