Interview with Angel Raich

The LA Times has a great article on the plaintiff in Raich v. Ashcroft currently due to be heard by the US Supreme Court in the near future. Angel Raich tells the story of how she inadvertently became the 'poster girl' for the MMJ movement. The case will have far reaching implications for state's rights on medical marijuana but since Bush has declared war specifically on marijuana consumers, it hardly presents a conducive political environment for a favorable decision.

One hopes SCOTUS will show some cajones and uphold the 9th Circuit's ruling anyway.
