Drug War more important than life and state's rights - Nubblies.net Forums

Brief summary: The Supreme Court voted that the Federal government may ignore whatever laws individual states have made about allowing citizens to take marijuana for health reasons, aka medical marijuana, and can prosecute those who use marijuana to aide their breathing with jailtime. I'll leave my opinion out of this one till the thread gets rolling.

(Washington, D.C.) In a 6-3 ruling by the United States Supreme Court, the federal government will continue to arrest and prosecute sick and terminally ill Americans who use marijuana for medical purposes. The decision supersedes state laws and the votes of citizens that allow the medical use of marijuana.

While the people of California and other states voted for the right of sick and dying patients to use marijuana as a medical treatment, the Supreme Court’s ruling permits the federal government to ignore the recorded decisions of an electorate.

Currently, ten states allow residents to grow and use marijuana for medical purposes. The court ruling, which was pushed forward by the Bush administration, not only lacks compassion for the sick but is also a clear encroachment upon states’ rights.

Marijuana should be legalized, but the states rights argument in this case is pretty weak.

Speaking of weed and Arnold...
