  • August 2008 Attorney General Guidelines
  • Sample medical marijuana recommendation form
  • Nation's first government office to provide medical marijuana directly to patients established by Santa Cruz, California City Council. Read the ordinance (scan quality is low)

Regarding the US Supreme Court Ruling
Against
Compassionate Access:

On June 6th, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in the Raich medical marijuana case.  In a six  to three vote, the Court supported the federal government’s right to arrest patients who grow, and use, physician recommended marijuana or provide it without charge to other seriously ill individuals. 

While this decision does nothing to overturn California (and other states’) own medical marijuana laws, the court did argue that, under the “Supremacy Clause” of the U.S. Constitution, “federal power over commerce is superior to that of the States to provide for the welfare or necessities of their inhabitants, however legitimate or dire those necessities may be” (p. 26 Gonzales v Raich).

Despite this alarming acknowledgement that, in the contemporary United States, the interests of commerce triumph over human needs, the court did point to the “troubling facts of the case,” a case “made difficult by respondents strong arguments that they will suffer irreparable harm because, despite a Congressional finding to the contrary, marijuana does have valid therapeutic purposes” (p. 6).

The court further noted that “We acknowledge that evidence proffered by respondents in this case regarding the effective medical uses for marijuana, if found credible after trial, would cast serious doubt on the accuracy of the findings that require marijuana to be listed in Schedule I” [Schedule I drugs are prohibited in all cases and are defined as having no medical value] (p. 24).

The court lacked the courage to act on behalf of the sick and dying, instead suggesting that Congress be encouraged to act:   “We do note, however, the presence of another avenue of relief… the statute authorizes procedures for the reclassification of Schedule 1 drugs.  But perhaps even more important than these legal avenues is the democratic process, in which the voice of the voters may one day be heard in the halls of Congress” (p. 30).

AND ELEVEN OTHER STATES
HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN. 

WHEN WILL THE U.S. CONGRESS
AND SENATE START TO LISTEN?
