The result is a disappointment to me, but vis-a-vis the actual law, I'm betting the court's decision will make a great deal of sense.

They are first and foremost the servants of federal power. Only if the feds have the power can the courts then wield it.

Montel Williams comes to mind.

He uses marijuana medicinally for his MS.

At this point I feel compelled to say that Hillary's Lovely Legs must have lovely legs as well. Most likely more lovely than Hillary's.

High Court Sides With States in Pot Case By GINA HOLLAND, Associated Press Writer
4 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - Federal authorities may prosecute sick people who smoke pot on doctors' orders, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, concluding that state medical marijuana laws don't protect users from a federal ban on the drug.

ADVERTISEMENT

The decision is a stinging defeat for marijuana advocates who had successfully pushed 10 states to allow the drug's use to treat various illnesses

Where does it say that in the Constitution? It should be up to the elected representatives of each state to make these laws not the Court. Another attempt by the court to take over the country.

Nice of those justices to remind us that we live in a federal police state.

I can't wait for the public backlash that will follow if the federal government decides to start martyring patients over this decision.

It will be interesting to see what their Constitutional justification is. A strict reading of the Constitution would not only show that the federales have no authority to rule on marijuana, but that they have no authority over any drugs whether pharmaceutical or recreational. That's one of the powers which "are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people".
