Pot Heads With Bad Hair

Poor, poor Angel Raich.  This San Francisco hippie with bad hair and a basement full of dope lost an appeal on the ridiculous claim that only marijuana can be used to treat her imaginary illnesses.

The truth is that Angel Raich is a marijuana enthusiast and an activist for the legalization of pot.  No one is buying her pathetic stories about her being ill from a dozen life threatening illnesses.  Not even the courts.  But somehow, the press is trying to paint this pot head as a saint.

From the AP here:

SAN FRANCISCO – A California woman whose doctor says marijuana is the only medicine keeping her alive can face federal prosecution on drug charges, a U.S. appeals court ruled Wednesday.
 
The case was brought by Angel Raich, an Oakland mother of two who suffers from scoliosis, a brain tumor, chronic nausea and other ailments. On her doctor’s advice, she eats or smokes marijuana every couple of hours to ease her pain and bolster a nonexistent appetite as conventional drugs did not work.

The Supreme Court ruled against Raich two years ago, saying that medical marijuana users and their suppliers could be prosecuted for breaching federal drug laws even if they lived in a state such as California where medical pot is legal.

Because of that ruling, the issue before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was narrowed to the so-called right to life theory: that marijuana should be allowed if it is the only viable option to keep a patient alive.

Raich, 41, sobbed when she was told of the decision and said she would continue using the drug.

Although the three-judge appeals panel refused Raich’s request to block enforcement of the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, it left open the possibility that if she were arrested and prosecuted, she might be able to argue that she possessed marijuana as a last resort to stay alive, in what is known as a “medical necessity defense.”

“I have to get myself busted in order to try to save my life,” Raich said.

So, if she gets busted and thrown in jail and does not die immediately, it means that the pot will NOT save her life, right?  I am going to call the Oakland PD and report her for drug possession to test this theory. 

The article also mentions that she is the mother of two.  Those kids, if they are still minors, should be sent into foster care.  A sick, dope smoking hippie cannot properly care for them, if all that second hand smoke is bad, right?  And burning pot contributes far too much CO2 to the air-  it might send Al Gore into a rage.
