thank god someone in montana finally woke up…..
by problembear
that third branch of government finally brings some sense into the moronic marijuana wars in this state by smacking down several key provisions of the poorly written law passed by idiots in our last legislature. judge reynolds recognizes the reality of providing for those patients suffering from the effects of chemotherapy etc. who need help with this drug. he has sense enough to know that an 82 year old bedridden grandma isn’t going to start growing her own pot or ask her relatives to do it for her for free.
he also has sense enough to know that denying the ability to charge for serving patients and advertise violates the constitution of this nation and this state.
meanwhile, the feds continue their assault on providers.

A note to all-ya’all – Larry’s got some good stuff up at his blog on this very issue – and South Dakota’s legislature’s foray into unconstitutional land.
Wonder how much his legislators are cost the taxpayers on their bat crap crazy legislation.

Thanks, jgirl. A Republican Sioux Falls legislator has amassed a significant fund to defend the anti-civil rights bill passed in the previous session. The state’s Republican super majority expects this case to propel the Republican attorney general to run for the senate seat now held by Democrat Tim Johnson.

I would say the judge struck down all the key provisisions that aimed at restricting MMJ. SB 423 just got its teeth knocked in.

Now to make it through the transition period between caregiver status ending and provider status beginning.
Oh yeah, and our President’s war against us. Another federal raid occurred yesterday. Must be part of his re-election strategy?
