While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Iraq, the Philippines and west Africa defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” the supreme court, of the corporate United states, hands down Gonzales v. Raich, declaring as lawful the incarceration of cancer and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome patients who are smoking marijuana on the advice of their physicians. The court’s reasoning is that Raich was affecting interstate commerce.
NOTE: Raich “use[s] marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana.”
