Bush Medical Marijuana Policy 'Not Compassionate'; Activists, Local Governments and Patients Fighting Back
BERKELEY, Calif., May 8 /U.S. Newswire/ - A summary judgment last week stated that California medical marijuana dispensaries have no Federal constitutional right to distribute the drug to seriously ill people. The decision is the latest in an accelerating crack down by the Bush Administration on state-approved marijuana cooperatives in California and other states. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer granted the government's motion for a summary judgment and defendants have until May 24, 2002 to respond. Judge Breyer will make a final ruling on June 7, 2002 on the case. Tired of living in terror of the Bush Administration, grassroots activists across the country are looking for new ways to help patients, even if that means pushing distribution networks underground, while others will focus on civil disobedience at Drug Enforcement Administration or other Federal offices throughout the country.
