Associated Press: “A jury on Thursday convicted a medical marijuana provider of drug trafficking and firearms charges, upholding the U.S. government’s raids of state-regulated pot dispensaries in its first test at trial. The provider, Chris Williams, was barred by the trial judge from making the case that he and Montana Cannabis followed the state medical marijuana law that voters approved in 2004. U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen ruled state laws were irrelevant in the case involving alleged violations of the federal Controlled Substances Act. . . . Williams’ case is the only one to go to trial after the government raided 26 medical marijuana provider homes, offices and business on March 14, 2011, in a crackdown on large Montana grow operations and dispensaries.”
Note to Arizona medical marijuana dispensary owners and their lawyers: Are you paying attention to what the Department of Justice is doing in other states?
Why is ‘big pharma’ not being prosecuted?
In 2009, 26,000 deaths from prescription medicines.
Deaths caused by marijuana…not a single one in recorded history.
Several years ago, I had surgery on my right shoulder. Pain medication was prescribed…”take one capsule every 4 hours.”
I took one capsule.
I was down for over 20 hours. When I came to, I felt like I had been hit by a truck. The next time I felt discomfort, I smoked a small amount of marijuana …pain gone, no after effects.
I threw the pills out.
Then I wrote:

My contribution to helping point out just how ludicrous our pot laws truly are.
