California Supreme Court Backs MMJ
October 17th, 2008 by Perry
In a resounding victory for medical marijuana activists, the state supreme court of California recently denied a request to hear the county’s attempt to repeal MMJ laws. The San Diego Union-Tribune says the decision is “an affirmation of the legitimacy of state medical marijuana laws,” according to Adam Wolf of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The ACLU actually worked in conjunction with Attorney General Jerry Brown’s office to fight the case against the county, which has spent about a year or so in court due to the county’s appeal efforts. The lawsuit filed by San Diego, San Bernardino and Merced County in 2006 was tossed out by two lower courts. The state Supreme Court’s refusal to consider the case Thursday ends the matter, which means it’s time to use the gas lamps to spark up some doobies.
By the way, earth to San Diego: you’re like 10 minutes from Tijuana, Mexico. I wouldn’t worry so much about a little medical marijuana… probably not their biggest concern.
