San Francisco Chronicle, Wednesday, September 8, 2000 -- "Doctor Rights Backed
Under Pot Law -- Federal Judge Stops Threat to
Pull Licenses" -- "U.S. District Judge William Alsup of San Francisco ruled yesterday that
federal authorities cannot strip doctors of their license to prescribe medicine if the
physicians advise their patients to use marijuana." -- (Can you spell 'Permanent
Injunction against the DEA?' I knew you could ... -- jubulient John Entwistle)
Tuesday, August 29, 2000 -- Supreme Court Intervenes: Stops
Marijuana Sales At Oakland Club Pending Trial. -- This is a temporary delay for
Oaklands Patients and Club but a great thing for America as it will result in a Supreme
Court Medical Marijuana Trial that will recognize the medical necessity of sales of
marijuana nationwide within 18 months.
"Once again, however, the Court must caution as to what this decision does not do. The Court has not declared Proposition 215 unconstitutional. Nor has it enjoined the possession of marijuana by a seriously ill patient for the patient’s personal medical use upon a physician’s recommendation. Nor has the Court foreclosed the possibility of a medical necessity or constitutional defense in any proceeding in which it is alleged a defendant has violated the injunction issued herein." -- Hon. Charles R. Breyer, United States District Judge, May 13, 1998. [More Quotes -- click here]
State of California Vs. Dennis Peron
Trial: Next Court date: "to be announced" on the
seventh floor of the Alameda County Courthouse -- Alameda County. Latest
news: Yet another inexplicable
delay occurred on August 14th. Previous Delay was that the judge took another day off
(August 7, 2000) -- Delays beyond our control, first the Prosecutor had some terrible
trouble, then the judge took the day off, so now were looking at mid August to set trial
date. Oh well this story will be told! -- Lockyer still wants a war!! He told his main
prosecutor that he wants to fight this out in court and he doesn't care about the AIDS and
cancer patients who may be dragged through the courts in this medical necessity trial.

related news article: Sacramento Bee, September 15, 1999 -- "Attorney general thinks Mendocino allows too much medical marijuana"
February 1, 2000 -- A letter from Assemblywoman Audie Bock demonstrating once again how Lockyer is turning a cold shoulder to input from Prop 215's author and many prominent California Politicians who agree with Dennis about changing the sales law instead of selectively prosecuting key cases. Lockyer confirms that he won't even update the guidelines still in place from the Lungren years. That's two (2) plants per patient. So much for compassion and understanding from the liberal democrats.
February 29th, 2000 -- We will be opposing State Assemblyman Johannessen's bill SB 2089 which you can read by jumping to the state of California's excellent legislative counsel website. -- UpDate 4-12-2000 -- It's dead in it's first committee! Good work Ryan Landers et al.

October 10, 1999 -- Davis signs Senator John Vasconcellos' marijuana research bill (SB 847). The Assembly had refused him the money. He rewrote it removing all funding from the measure which reduced the number of votes it needed to a simple majority (instead of the two thirds needed to spend money.) This incredibly desparate maneuver got SB 847 through the Assembly (45 votes) through the Senate in the last possible minutes. Why not research spider mite and gopher prevention or something usefull?

sneaking toward the floor. Watch carefully friends... This Bill is a bad idea!
