Tough for the dopers.
A little harsh for those really sick and dying with no intention of selling or passing it around.
Had all the dopers not tried to ride this alone with the dying, I think this would not have been such a highlighted issue as it is.

Not to worry. Pot is plentiful in California. The suffering can get as much as they need.

No, tough for the RP. During the campaign our president said he supported the Constitution. "I believe each state can choose that decision as they so choose. For us, that's an issue of local control,"
That got him the Libertarian vote.

He did the Kerry flip flop after the election and prosecuted medical marijuana all the way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court took local control away from the people.

The president and the Republican party have shown they do not keep their word and are just more big government liberal BS.

How so? An ID card isn't necessary now to receive medical marijuana. The pilot ID card program, currently covering a little over 100 patients, is all that is being supsended. Patients may still present a doctor's recommendation as proof their marijuana is legal under State law. California is doing its best to protect its citizens by de-centralizing the program. Will this move make it harder to keep tabs on medical use? Probably. But that's hardly a win for the Prohibitionists.

No, tough for all of us who are trying to get the federal government behemoth out of our lives. That ruling basically says that if the feds want to prohibit me from growing tomatoes in my backyard, they can Constitutionally do so using the interstate commerce clause. This ruling is the feds' attempt to finally kill off states' rights for good.

F--k the Feds on this issue. Happiness for me would be a bunch of ATF employees getting their pink slips.
