ALLOW MEDICINAL MARIJUANA

AS the Libertarian Party candidate for attorney general, I am disgusted to
read that the federal government, with the apparent cooperation of the
state of California and Attorney General Dan Lungren, continues to bully
and threaten medical marijuana patients, such as Todd McCormick in Los
Angeles, who are legally permitted by California law to cultivate and use
marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Although a clear majority of voters approved Proposition 215 in 1996, the
federal government continues to ignore the will of the California people by
these continuing prosecutions. How many deaths will it take before the
federal and state governments stop interfering with the ability of
critically ill patients to use and cultivate medical marijuana?
