SUPREMES VS THE PEOPLE

A man sees another man drowning and steals a boat to rescue him. What
should happen to the man who stole the boat? Does saving someone's life
justify such lawlessness? For centuries, common law has upheld the right
to break a law, in order to protect human life.

Now consider this: A cooperative of patients provides another patient, who
faces impending death with a healing herb that is legal within that state,
with all parties holding the sincere conviction that it will provide
medical relief. Does saving a patient's life justify a cooperative of
patients in breaking Federal law? According to the Supreme Court, it does not.

Conclusion: You can break the law to help someone, but if marijuana is
involved you can't even pass a state law that allows you to help save a
life. Federal law supercedes, or so this Supreme Court would have us believe.

Apparently the Supreme Court believes that it, not the People, should
decide what plants we may use, what herbs we may take, or who can be President.
