Medical marijuana issue returns to court
USA Today – Mar 26, 2006
Voters in 1996 made California the first state to authorize patients to use marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation. Ten other states have since followed suit but the federal government insists there is no medical value to the drug. In 2001, the Supreme Court ruled that Raich’s supplier, the Oakland Cannabis Buyer’s Cooperative, could not lawfully dispense marijuana despite the California voters’ action. Two years later, in a small victory for medical marijuana backers, the high court let stand a 9th Circuit decision saying doctors have a First Amendment right to discuss or recommend the drug to patients without the threat of federal sanctions. But last June, the Supreme Court ruled the federal government could prosecute medical marijuana users and their suppliers. In some states, federal agents have been sporadically arresting users and raiding so-called pot clubs that dole out the drug to patients. Raich herself was arrested this month for disorderly conduct while demonstrating outside the federal courthouse in Oakland over a recent raid on a medical marijuana dispensary.

Pilot in Crash Had Marijuana In His System

The report says Sonoma County resident Karl Esposti had about 293 nanograms per milliliter of marijuana in his urine. That’s about 20 times more than the amount that can cost a pilot his or her license. Esposti’s plane crashed into a wheat field last April when it ran into bad weather. Federal investigators have not released a final report and officials have not commented on whether marijuana use will be ruled a factor.

The driver, a pal from the inspector’s days as a police officer more than a decade earlier, told Martinez that the cargo he’d been expecting was right behind his truck. And sure enough, a white Ford pickup appeared. It carried 1,635 pounds of marijuana, packed and ready for the streets of America. But Martinez didn’t stop it, didn’t inspect it, didn’t call out the dogs. He just waved it through on that lonely morning, FBI agents say. And for that, agents say, drug traffickers paid him $10,000. Three years later, Martinez, 44, is behind bars, suspected of taking more than $1 million in bribes while waving through more than 50 tons of drugs — more than his law-abiding colleagues seized at eight South Texas ports of entry in an entire year.
