What the fuck is wrong with our judicial system?

I mean come the fuck on now. Thats just not right.

 

I'm sure they won't persecute the dying... I think the woman made a mistake by bringing it to their attention in the first place.

 

Well, by the time they get around to making a ruling on her case, I'm sure she will be dead anyways. But still, either way, thats just fucking wrong.

 

Yes, it is... but it's all just word-play... the day they persecute a dying person for smoking marijuana will also be the day on which marijuana legalization will gain lots of voices.

 

Very true. Every time I see stories such as this, I think its a step in the right direction towards legalization, or decriminalization if nothing else. Alot of people might not see it that way, but outrageous things such as these only open up peoples eyes to how obsurd the situation really is. And it causes them to speak out. Someday the right people's eyes will be opened and that will be the end of prohibition. :toetap: waiting, waiting, waiting....

 

You just have to wait till the baby boomers die out, and till tobacco and alcohol face stronger social restrictions.

Then... the ganja will roam free.

what's wrong is a culture that wants to believe, wants us to believe, that there is any such thing as infallability. which i'm firmly convinced there is not.

This will undoutedly be an interesting case. Both sides of the issue expect to gain ground here. The anti-pot, for any reason, group hopes to make an example out of her even if she never really does jail time. Just to show everyone that no one is exempt from the law. The pro-pot, for medical reasons, group hopes the opposite, that sick people that benefit from the use of pot should be accomodated.

I do know first hand that pot does in fact help with the nausia associated with radiation and chemotheropy associated with cancer. The tremendus pain associated with a cancerous brain tumor can not be eliminated with pot but it does have a noticeable soothing effect and reduces the discomfort.

What seems really controdictory is that the "system" has no problems with administering massive doses of Morphiine, or Oxycodone/Oxycontin and other highly addictive drugs to patients because the good it does out weighs the addiction aspect. Wherein pot is not proven to be addictive at all, habit forming maybe but not addictive. Tobacco is one of the very most addictive sustances available and is not regulated except by age restrictions.

If Pot is officially recognized for it's medical value and is available to sick people, even under regulation, the ANTI people are afraid it will open the door to other exceptions and eventually legalization.

I think it is absolutly unreasonable, and a sad commentary on our society, that a terminaly ill person should be restricted from the consumption of anything that makes that persons life easier. Even if it just to get blasted and not stress over the realization of dying.

My 2 cents.... your milage may vary.....
