Ripping medicine out of the hands of the terminally ill

Strike another blow for inhumanity. The DEA apparently has no time to wait for the Supreme Court decision on the question of whether California Prop 215 trumps federal interstate commerce law and is very busy out there in California raiding another one of those "dangerous" compassionate care organizations growing medical marijuana to provide to chronically ill patients.

Richard Meyer, special agent in the DEA's San Francisco division, said other medical marijuana dispensaries in California "should know that they are breaking the law ... they should get out of the business of selling drugs."

Of course what Richard Marino has been doing is has been legal under California state law since 1996. "I thought I was doing everything above board," he said. "I still think I'm doing everything above board."

Of course he is. The only ones skulking around like criminals are the DEA.
