Coming Home

Of course I was already feeling a little teary this evening, even before I heard about Fay Wray, because the first victim of unwarranted federal intervention in state sovereignty under CA Prop 215, medical marijuana patient Bryan Epis, was reunited with his 11 year old daughter Ashley today. She hasn't seen him in two years while he was waiting for the courts to decide whether he should be locked up for 10 years for growing a medicinal plant. Thanks to the humanity of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, this happened only hours ago.

Unfortunately while this heartbreaking homecoming was unfolding, two more equally situated defendants were facing equally incomprehensibly unwarranted sentences for the same alleged "crimes". How much longer can civil society survive if we continue to let our government make gardening a federal offense?
