cannabisnews.com: Prop. 215 Cases Prop. 215 Cases Posted by FoM on November 11, 1999 at 17:26:34 PT By R.L. Root Source: LA Times How extremely ironic that the judge who ruled that Peter McWilliams and Todd McCormick could not use Proposition 215 in their defense against marijuana charges is named King, George ("Judge Bars Medical Need, Prop. 215 as Basis for Defense in Marijuana Trial," Nov. 6). Throughout our state, oppressors persecute sick and dying people for using a medicine that works. Medical marijuana is the front line in the war on drugs. Other battlegrounds include privacy rights, property rights, freedom of association and right to due process. The war on drugs is a war on people. It has as much to do with drugs as the Boston Tea Party had to do with tea. And just as King George's oppression of the colonists was basically economic, the war on drugs continues and grows because it is a multibillion-dollar industry. Just as the drug warriors in Washington do not plan on ever ending their cash-cow drug war, neither do the drug lords want to see it ended. R.L.
