Robin Prosser, a Missoula woman who struggled for a quarter century to live with the pain of an immunosuppressive disorder, tried years ago to kill herself. Last week, she tried again. This time, she succeeded.
After her earlier attempt failed, Prosser wound up in even more trouble after investigating police found marijuana in her home. She used the marijuana to help cope with pain.
That marijuana charge was eventually dropped in an agreement with the city of Missoula, and Prosser had reason to rejoice in 2004 when Montanans passed a law allowing medical use of the drug.
She was a high-profile campaigner for the Montana Medical Marijuana Act, and like others, she was dismayed when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that drug agents could still arrest sick people using marijuana, even in states that legalized its use.
The ruling came to haunt Prosser in late March, when DEA agents seized less than a half ounce of marijuana sent to her by her registered caregiver in Flathead County.
At the time, the DEA special agent in charge of the Rocky Mountain Field Division said federal agents were ?protecting people from their own state laws? by seizing such shipments.

I cannot understand this legislation against cannabis, especially as it was originally created by corporations to protect their timber/paper, oil, and car-making industries.

the government is messed up.

Citizen Jane has much to say about why corporations in the pharmaceutical industry, the oil industry, the paper-forest industry, other industries, and agencies of the government that use the black market to generate untraceable funds for their black ops want to keep the status quo against all the evidence.
Is it righteous to harass and lock up our citizens to keep profits up? -
we need more power to the states thats what the constitution is supposed to do keep us united but keep most of the power with the states

Vierotchka,
It might interest you to know that the Terra Papers were written BEFORE Star Wars, that George Lukas was highly influenced by his friend, Joseph Campbell, and that Joseph Campbell spent his life researching myths globally and spent a lot of time with the Hopi.
Be that as it may, you are welcome to your opinions. I have done a great deal of reading from translated Sumerian texts, as well as many other sources, and found nothing to suggest the Papers are false.
But you stay in that box they have put us in. No skin off my nose.
