Re: "WHAT HAPPENED TO STATES' RIGHTS?" >>> What happened to Bush's campaign promise that medical marijuana was an issue he would leave up to the States to decide for themselves?

You guys are funny. I personally think that pot is not a major problem, and is actually less harmful than tobacco or alcohol. But it is funny when a state makes a law that is against federal law. What are the feds to do? And this law is NOT about pot for sick patients. It is an attempted step towards getting pot legalized. I lived in the Bay Area when it started and know of one person, who knows of many more, that have one of the silly cards where he gets to go into the store and buy pot. It looks like a drivers license. This is because his back hurts! Almost everybody's back hurts btw. Now I live in Northern CA, and I have been told that for $100 there are doctors that will write you the perscription. If you think it is truly just to help sick people then you are a FOOL. Like I said, I have no problem with it, but I am a relatively smart guy, and I would expect the Fed to make all kinds of hey with a stupid law like this that basically says who cares what the federal law is, we will do what we like. And your buddy Rosenthal is paying the price. No sympathy. He's just a pot activist playing with the legal system with the hope that people can get stoned legally. Risky game, eh?

Oh how we hate it when the shoe is on the other foot. Where were you before? Do you not know that the very people you have trained to hate will soon turn their hatred on you ?

"It's a facist federal state" It ALWAYS was a fascist state, but Americans deserve it, for they have eyes but do not see, have ears but do not hear. In June 1999, one very prominent San Francisco lawyer stunned me with a statement that San Francisco's political system is a fascism... the most dangerous form of fascism. "Why it is 'the most dangerous'?" I asked incredulously. - "Because it is insidious. People do not see, do not realize this," she replied. But that was in the context of the discussion about the San Francisco's fascistic rent control policy, and many San Franciscans would bitterly disagree that this policy is fascistic. So, f..k them with all their boards of stupidwisers, all those Gonzalleses and other intellectual and moral perverts. Outrageous as it is, this pot ruling is still only a minute speckle of dirt in the quagmire of American "justice". And all you who do not, and do not want to, understand that the court of law is not any court of justice and that, therefore, this country never had any system of true justice -- f..k you all as well. You all get what you deserve. To bad only that so many good people suffer from your immorality and stupidity. ag
