Landmark Medicinal Marijuana Decision
September 16th, 2008 by Perry
So of course it happened in Santa Cruz, the Amsterdam of California, but a significant battle was won for medicinal marijuana users nevertheless.
A federal judge ruled the actions against the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana by federal law enforcement agencies was unconstitutional. Judge Jeremy Fogel found the group was being harassed by the agencies, who were in violation of the 10th amendment by targeting the group. (The 10th amendment basically states powers not given to the federal government are given to the states to decide.) This also opens the door to allow a law suit by WAMM, the ACLU and Santa Cruz city officials to proceed against the federal government.
Go WAMM.
