I put that graphic up because I think it's beautiful. So is common sense, even though it's rare in government.
Raw Story
The Supreme Court refused to hear a case Monday contesting California’s medical marijuana law, in a win for medicinal marijuana advocates.
“The courts have made clear that federal law does not preempt California’s medical marijuana law and that local officials must comply with that law,” Joe Elford, chief counsel with Americans for Safe Access (ASA), a national medical marijuana advocacy group, said in a release. “No longer will local officials be able to hide behind federal law and resist upholding California’s medical marijuana law.”
Medicinal use of marijuana is legal in thirteen US states: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
It’s also legal for medical use in Canada, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Israel, Finland and Portugal.
Gee, this is great! We're catchin' up to reindeer herders...
