NATIONLINE - Medical Marijuana: A federal judge refused Tuesday to allow a
Los Angeles writer-activist with AIDS to use medical marijuana while
awaiting trial on drug cultivation, trafficking and possession charges.
Peter McWilliams said the ruling is a death sentence for him and he will
appeal. Although California voters approved marijuana for medical uses in
l996, its use for any purpose remains a federal crime.
