Patients Win BIG In Ninth Circuit Decision!

by friend of ASA
This ninth circuit decision is the beginning of the end of the Federal assault on medical marijuana!
Patients Win BIG In Ninth Circuit Decision!

Angel McClary Raich and her caregivers and Diane Monson WON in an historic Ninth
Circuit decision in their injunction against Ashcroft, the DEA Chief, and the
Federal Gov 't!
These seriously ill medical marijuana patients won their case that the federal
government, (former) Drug Enforcement Administration chief Asa Hutchinson, and
Attorney General John Ashcroft violated the Fifth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments to
the U.S. Constitution in their ongoing attacks on medical cannabis patients and
providers in California.

This is the beginning of the end for the federal assault on state medical marijuana
laws, and will affect every other case coming down the pike. We are just SO
EXCITED!! Congratulations to the fabulous patients and lawyers that made this happen!
