Using Marijuana ‘medicinally’
Well, looks like the Supreme Court has ruled against the use of marijuana medicinally to ease pain. It went one step further to state that the use of marijuana use for medical purposes was equivalent to a federal crime. So for terminally ill patients who have been privately growing marjuana in their backyards to kill pain on the prescription of their doctors are now fair game to be prosecuted. It was a 6-3 ruling with 6 judges ruling that it was criminal and 3 other judges stating that it wasn’t. Interestingly enough, the plaintiffs were steadfast in their claim that they will persist in using the drug to ease their pain.
