States' rights victory!

2003-12-17 18:36:18.984747+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Our friends at the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that medical marijuana grown by the consumer is okay because it doesn't involve interstate commerce, and therefore is not regulateable by the U.S. Congress. Won't last long, but it's cool that people manage to tie the silly legal system in knots occasionally.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
